You got me. I'm still very much a casual Linux user. Maybe now
that I'm almost finished with the MCSE I'll have time to actually
sit down and do some reading instead of just hammering away and
reading an occasional man page.

Well, there will actually be 4 new tests and I'm anticipating it
being quite a bit more difficult than the NT4 tests were. The
Active Directory stuff alone is supposed to be a real bear. 4 new
tests for me, as an MCSE. 7 (instead of 6) for someone just
starting out.

Not a dime. My employer has never stipulated, either in written or
verbal form, that I owe them any length of employment after the
training. Nor would I have agreed to one unless they had been
willing to commit to a specific raise amount. That's how things
work in the real world, I've been told.
Some might call me ruthless or ungrateful, but I've been underpaid
for at least 2 years (without the training) for other reasons. This
is, I'm told, still an employee-friendly job market. No reason for
me to accept vastly substandard pay with the experience and now the
"credentials" I have. Working for a state educational institution
may never pay 100% market rate, but this Classicist turned Geek
won't be working for 50% much longer, especially since Rachael has
warmed to the possibility of me taking a job that requires travel.
Passed TCP/IP today. 733 required - I got 900. Mainly subnetting
that tripped me up, but in reality you don't subnet your 10,000 node
network in 60 seconds without the benefit of a calculator and a
chart, so I'm not upset.
