You have all helped and inspired me over these past 5 months that I've been lurking around the site. Thank you for your time and effort. I was laid off in January from a non tech related job. I then decided to return to school to follow my dreams of working in the tech fields. Just finished up my first quarter last Thursday. It was great. Took an A+ preparedness class, part one of the Cisco Academy and a XP (70-270) course. Did really well and looking forward to next quarter already. I have the A+ Essentials part of the exams booked for this coming Wed. at 3:00. And I just wanted to chime in and join the fun. I'm a little nervous, this being my first cert exam, but I'm confident from the class and quite a few years of geekin out over pc's and such. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. I'm not a real big poster on the forums but I'll always be around and check in on the Jobs, Microsoft, and Cisco forums daily. Thanks again.
