Here's another good quote for you:

Frank,
You could always edit your previous post, and remove the offending (or just make it relate to a different database company)

No, have you ever read Terry Prachett (I think he wrote some books dealing with this). I don't even want to think about the implications *shudder*

A couple of MCSE explanations I know of are:
quote:
MCSE = Must Consult Someone Experienced.Not sure where that one came from, but I have known it to be highly appropriate (I have one case in mind, with a badge-wearing MCSE with approximately three weeks of real experience...)
quote:
MCSE = Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire ExpertI think that was originally in UserFriendly, but not sure.
Anyone know any good ones for MCSD? or MCDBA?

See what you started, Frank?I'm always guilty for the pain of the world ! I know that since I'm married
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.
When asked to define "great" he said "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

I was an Ingres expert. Then I was a **CA-OpenIngres** expert, employed by Computer Associates Professional Services to teach Ingres and to troubleshoot at client sites willing to pay for that. Another member of the CA PS staff introduced me to SQL Server 6.5 and said, "This is where you'll be two years from now." He was off by a year, but that's because the city where I live is known as being slow to accept new IT.

I was a high school maths and IT teacher. I was reduced to teaching MS Works due to nothing else being licensed by the school. I got sick of deaking with knife fights and f***** up violent kids whos' main problem was their f***** up violent parents.
Then I trained unemployed people how to build web sites. Kind of pointless really but it was a "goverment initiative" to get the UK more IT focused.
Then I was technical support for the first company to bring cable modems to the UK. I know you yanks have had them for ages but over here they are still quite new.
Thence to Predictive Dialler management which is insanely high pressure due to the fact that every time it goes down I had 400 people being paid to sit round doing nothing.
After that I became DBA/BI manager, and then programmer/Development manager.
Still only 26, quite young in this field it seems...

Keith,
You sound as disillusioned with UK Education as the parents who care!
My experience of school IT was 30 of us kids sharing a Commodore pet, then shortly afterwards having 8 ZX81s (which broke within 7 days). The BBC Model A and B were monopolised by one or two pupils.
Said pupils rewarded their teacher by setting up a short assembly language program with no break point to print "Mr xxxxxxx is overdrawn at the sperm bank".
Said pupils also found the POKE command on the Pet that caused a chip to blow up and I mean that literally!
