Hi Devin, I have been supporting Microsoft Server Technologies for the past ten years ( NT3.51, 4.0, 2000, 2003 ). I have also worked as an apprentice electrician in a former career back in the 80's. Overall I love what I do, however the past four years it has been tough finding good paying jobs in my area and I have no desire to relocate. HVAC is also a good trade and pays well, but I would have to say that this is much more challenging career. Keep in mind that you have to do a lot of reading on your own and have to enjoy trying to solve problems. Hope this helps!

FastTrack sounds to fast to learn. Takes some time to learn Networking especially since it changes everyday. And when your done and get a job your on call half your life do you really want to do this. HVAC pays better. ________________________________ From: Devin McBride [mailto:devin@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 1:10 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Looking for a few individuals who would be willing to help me get grant money for an MCSE Certification program... http://www.MSExchange.org/
