People outside of the business only know what they're told. Even some
people who are inside of the business but only know M$ are brainwashed.
To many people it doesn't matter that I've been around this business for
10 years now and have deployed tens of thousands of systems. I always get
well meaning suggestions from family members that my career might get off
to a good start if I get my MCSE. Bah.

More recently I have percieved an upswing in CCNA and CISSP positions.
