The way I see it, for a newb; that's half the battle...
When you've never been exposed to the technology in any real depth, and have
no experience in a comercial environment; then you dont know; what you dont
know.
For example, take some kid who uses XP at home and is 'really good with
computers' one day he decides he'll spend the rest of his days as the IT guy.
Okay he can play games and use the internet, email etc...
But ask him to join the machine to a domain... "whats a domain"
ask him about WINS..."whats WINS"
ask him about registry... "whats the registry"
Ask about EFS and NTFS.
Ask him to explain the difference between NTFS permissions and shared folder
permissions "duh, whats NTFS". And these are just a few of the basics.
He doesn't know what he doesn't know. And as I'm finding out, theres a LOT
to know. Without exposure/experience the newb is a fusked as a dirty slag on
prom night.
Experience is great to get if you can get the experience, but what if you
need a cert to get the job (exposure)? I recon this is half the reason we
have soooo00o many a$sFuâŹkers with certs, who cheat their way into a cert, to
get the job, to learn the skills, who then have to wip out a book everytime
they have to do somthing simple like work out subnets or figure out how to
map a fusking network drive. Lets not forget though - as MS sees it they're
still MCSEs.
