Re: Security + certification
My hubby is an IT geek (I say that in a completely loving way). I think that's a certification that he already has through COMPTIA. He's pretty much self-taught using a bunch of the study guides and what not, and then taking the certification exams (recently got his Linux Level 1 Certification for other IT geeks on here). He might be able to give you some pointers, if you want to PM me some questions.

Re: Security + certification
I'll get over it.
The thing that aggravates me is that yeah, I did all that, but I did it because there was a reason. This thing is just absurd. I have to spend a bunch of time and money taking this test so I'm certified in security on a system I'm not allowed to access while my request for training on a new piece of equipment that it's my job to operate was denied due to lack of funds.
Have you ever read Catch-22?

BTW I love redundancy and filling out incessant reports that nobody EVER reads but yet I can be fired for refusing to do them.

I swear I'm going to one of these days, it sounds great.
I know. *shrug* It's a living.
