My AA is almost worthless when it comes to applying for IT or even entry level admin jobs, which, as you note, are almost always BS/BA. SWIC won't even accept most of my credits because they are from a technical school. I need an "IN" and hopefully will be able to acquire training from that point. Funny thing, my previous employer, American Airlines, didn't offer any kind of tuition reimbursement so I had to pursue my part-time coursework on my own. I would hope that any future employer I might have would have an education program in place. It always seemed to make sense to me to help your employees become more educated. Eastern Airlines had a program as did Space Systems Loral as did Southwestern Bell, but the worlds largest airline did not. Anyway, a cert would be more attractive than, "I have taken and passed college courses in Advanced networking, visual basic, C++, and UNIX using Linux. For some reason those don't fly well. My week has not gone well. More bad news today, but that is way off topic. Anyone who knows me though knows that I'll take a baseball bat to all this crap until it gives up and I get my way. It's all uphill from here. > An AA isn't worth much towards degree requirements (which, as mentioned, > are almost always BS/BA).. > > Lee > > ============================================ > Leland V.
