Congrats!! It always feels great to have a job before you even get the degree (felt great for me

).

Do you start after you finish school, or how are you going to work that out? I wouldn't recommend dropping school altogether if you can avoid it...even if you have to switch to part time, just keep knocking it out until you are done.

Did the job you apply for have any requirements like 5 years of network engineering expierence? or did it say it was entry level?

Correction just entry level. I'm not sure if it is before or after school. I'm assuming after school but I will find out when I receive my contract packet from GM. Makes me glad to know that I have what it takes to go into IT. Better then typical helpdesk "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" (IT Crowd joke) type of work.

Thanks for the support! And a great way to celebrate is buying Transcender practice exams and a voucher for my CCENT. It's pretty exciting to say the least. I know that GM is very heavy when it comes to Cisco so I at least plan on getting my CCENT before graduation then finish ICND2 after I graduate but before I start working. Hopefully GM will pay for more certs.
gbdavidx, certs will make a huge difference between candidates. They validate knowledge and skills in a particular field. Since I was in school I decided to tackle on certs while in school to avoid getting a helpdesk job out of school. While most college kids drink, I hit the cert books. Then while they get a crap job, I'm making good money, good job and no regretting my college years.

Congrats on the job.
