I'm 30 and haven't been able to. Then again, I'm trying to stay in San Diego and the market has been outpacing my earning potential since I left college. Now that the bubble has burst and I'm seeing decent properties in decent areas within my ability to pay for, my life savings (which was pulled out of the Arizona housing market late last year) will be put to good use. |
No, heh, I was making $15 an hour at 22. I'm 28 now got Windows Admin job I've always wanted. With the IT industry, more so than a lot of fields, experience usually carries more weight than education and certs. Our main network guy doesn't have any college or Cisco certs under his belt, but he has 15 years of doing it, so he got the job. I know more than one guy rocking a CCNA or even CCNP cert that has literally never physically touched a Cisco product.
