    Well Crazee if you keep this up (acquire all those certs) you soon start being told at interviews that they can't employ you because "you are over qualified" (yup you read that correctly) I know one or two persons who cannot get jobs not because they don't fit the qualifications but because they exceeded if not vastly exceed them.

    I can only hope you will understand the I.T. market at some point.

    In small economies, there is little room for specialized skills. Most companies will want people with hard core network administration skills. In larger economies, companies tend to be bigger so specialized skill sets are required.

    You need to start with Windows 200x networking skills. That is the basic skill set that is required. Without that, you are at a big disadvantage. To stand out from the competition, you should add Linux networking skills and/or CCNA skills and/or software development skills.

    Limiting yourself to Linux skills or CCNA skills will only make you unemployable.

    If you cannot adjust to the reality of the market place in small economies, you need to migrate to a larger economy.

    It is time to wake up and smell the coffee...

    Sometimes we need to face the harsh realities of life. Sitting and shouting that "life is not fair" is not going to achieve much.

    i have knowledge of server 2008 and 2003 for ex- dhcp, dns, ad, group policy, mapping network drives using scripts, file permission etc etc... can set up a server from scratch from the dcpromo command to configuring dns etc etc........
    ive watched train signal videos that has showed me how to do this....... i even setup a test lab in vmware and i setup server replication and it all worked........

    i jus need an opportunity to kick down the door....... that is all...... even though i mighnt not have the so called "years of experience" i have the knowledge... its just frustrating when ur working for little or nothing and u know ur worth.....

    knowing ur worth is 1 thing.. cuz everyone knows how much they themselves are worth.. the hardest part is having others know ur worth..
    mi ute - mi know seh u well devah in d ting and u all know more dan me when it come to dem tings dere

    anyway.. i saw smoe network admin jobs posted in the gleaner but like i said before - they ALL require some years amount of experience..
    i wah mek a suggestion to u crazee - i know u may not agree but its 1 of my observations and i think its a good place to start..

    try applying for sys-admin/IT-TECH positions in private/high schools across Jamaica like i did (not just kingston but all over)
    now i know what ur thinking.. but hear me out.. there are alot of schools ALL OVER JAMAICA looking for IT guys.. expecially the country schools because not many ppl STAY in there for long (my predecessor stayed 2 years b4 he quit) so its relatively easier to get through with this type of job

    the hardest part is the daily commute from home to work expecially if u get someplace FAAR out - i still live in portmore/kingston while i work in clarendon but from my experience, you will get payed on an MIS/IT4 scale which is decent (all the more now that the tax year has changed), you get to utiize the degree + certs u have and it will give u some valuable experience to add to a resume. it wont bee corporate/enterprise experience.. but the little u get helps out!

    its a good in-between job to have cuz i get nuff exposure to networking, comp-repairs and systems administration. the work load is plentifull but im used to it! im happy cuz let me tell u.. every sunday i look tru the gleaner and i see all the nonsensical requirements for low-scale and low-paying jobs in kingston and i am GLAD to have got this job cuz without it - i'd still be sitting down crying about the job market..

    so ute - thats all, u can either stick with what u have there.. or u can spread urself and take the extra mile to get what u need

    You ever considered taking up motivational speaking or consultations? Those are some good points at one point in time I was just going to volunteer at my favorite computer or computer related businesses just to get the experience.
