The excitement of IT Training
Posted by Jeremy on February 27th, 2008
Although the pendulum of my career goal in life has swung another direction1 I still need to keep up with my current career and as such I just dropped $160 on Collection 3386: Implementing Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007. Its a self-paced E-learning course from Microsoft - I’ve never taken one of them before, but I really need to get more up to speed with the product - there are huge changes from 2005 and I’m getting lost on what in the old one is what in the new one.
Course is slated to last 10 hours total - I’ll run through it and see what I think, then probably setup a time to take the test for 070-400. I’m a tad nervous - I was an MCSE back in the NT 4.0 days, but never kept current with my certs. Now that I’m a full time IT consultant, I figure it’s in my best interest to re-certify and grab some new certs along the way. The only thing I hate is the $125.00 price of each MS test. But hey, at least it’s all tax-deductible, eh? Normally I wouldn’t care about the certs at all, but if I’m paying for the course I might as well see it through to the end.
I’ll let you know what I think about it.
Footnotes listed in the above post:- I kinda want to be a truck driver again, it was an insane amount of fun. I loved it - though I didn’t realize until after it was over [↩]

I think you’re better off in the IT world, but if your heart is really set on the truck driver thing there’s a huge need.
