I just wanted to get opinions from some technical people.

I have a degree in Marketing and have worked in this industry for ten years
and am think of a career change. I'd like to get into the IT field but I
think I'll need some type of certification to get my foot in the door. Which
certifications would be the best right now to get a new job? MCSE, MCDBA or
MCSD

Thanks

are you making good money now, with steady work?

marketing people are not technical in any way, stick to your powerpoint
presentations.

why the hell would you want to switch careers to one that currently has no
growth?

Exactly, I think IT is more useful and will give satisfaction that is
completely void in the Marketing industry. I'm mean to actually help people
instead of lying to them would make me feel like a Human being...

So, you think there's more demand for engineer's? I wouldn't mind older
technology. I mean I'm prepared to immerse myself into learning, I know I
don't have what it takes right now but I do know I have the ability to
learn. I can build a PC, write excel macros and even do some access database
stuff. I'm aware these are infintile abilities compared to the level some of
you people are at but like I said, I can learn.

Actually, he asks a very valid question.....

If you are into marketing, what does your marketing analysis say?

So u would rather try to convince management to spend money that they have
but would rather spend on themselves, to buy things they do need?

I am totally serious, the last job I found all the HW for a fibre-channel
cluster setup(2 web, 2 SQL) including 2 * 32 port FC Switches, FC HBAs,
Drive array(24*32GB HD) with redundent PS & controllers & 4 Dual Xeon
1.8?(can't remember exact) for under $20,000 and had to twist their arms to
get them to buy, meanwhile we were running off of a PIII 700 HP w/ 512MB for
web & 1GB for SQL(constently crashing under heavy load), and they were
averaging about $250,000 in sales a week(telemarketing)

The experience I have had is that businesses want IT for free and 100%
reliable.

Please tell me this is just a small business thing!!!
