12. Right place, right time
Like you I was stuck in a dead end job and got my MCSE cert in 97. I had absolutely no IT background at the time. Instead of networking, I added some database certs and life is good.

I was desperate at the time and did some digging to find out what jobs had more demand than people to fill them. At the time it was MCSE. Forunately, I liked it and I'm good at it.

Hopefully Obama can help create another environment like we had in the late 90s. It turned my life around. I would love to see it happen to others. Especially good Dems; most IT folks I know are pretty apolitical.

I'm in Rockville. Maybe we can grab a drink sometime! :toast:
