I recently met a cabbie who has never even seen a computer in person but is enrolling in a course gaurenteed to get him certified in 6 weeks...wooobaby I would hate to be the bozo who hires him.

On the other hand, good managers can usually spot the fakes from the real Mccoy in 5 minutes of interviewing, so work on sharpening your interview skills and the $$$$ will still be there for you....assuming you live in a large enough population center [img]smile.gif[/img]
I think population center is one of my problems. The closest decent sized city is South Bend, Indiana. Unfortunately, all the surrouding areas work in SB and the job competition is pretty high. I have seriously considered moving closer to Chicago, but I like suburbs and wooded areas. Gary, Indiana is supposed to be a terrible place to live but it's closer than Chicago. All the head hunters I talk to have jobs in the Chicago area and that's about it. It seems like I live in a dead zone.
