Nice post nietojo...and glad you at least got your certifications out of that money. I blew $12,000 and haven't taken the A+, Net+, or the MSFT 210 and 215 tests for the MCP. I took the Cisco CCNA but failed that one by less than 50 points. The way the school had it lined up, we took one class after another, and most of us never had the chance to study for the previous course because they wanted to start the next ones so fast. Pisses me off to this day. Sure, I can still take them, but I don't have the money to take these certs since I'm having a hard time finding ANY full-time work. Now I'm gonna have to explain that to the school loan pricks. MD :(
