news:db**************************@posting.google.c om... Hi. I am an amateur C# enthusiast. I currently work as a carpenter
and I moonlight on the weekends as a photographer. I'm trying to
transition a career change.
Is there an exam that leads to certification in C# like there is with
Java?
How much of the exam will rely on memorization? How much will be from
programming skill? How do they measure my programming ability from one
exam?
As a computer consultant for 8 years now. The market is not what is
use to be. The companies hiring programmers are working them to
death. Programmers are having less say because the market isn't good
enough to leave. So there are more (sweat shops)companies taking
advantage of their employees. Yeah with a .Net cert you can get real
close to 6 figures a year but get ready for 50-70 hour work weeks for
months on end. It's a tough decision but if you want money it might
just work for you but don't expect to gain much vacation. After 8
years I am looking at 10 days again if I change companies. Or a pay
cut which is worse since in the north east the cost of living is
pretty high.
I work to live, not live to work... you choose your poison. I would
love to work wood for a living. Anybody in the Orlando Fla area need
a apprentice. I have skills. I can build a datawarehouse,web
interface, vb client and secure your network all at once. I think the
IBM guy had it right retire and then do what you enjoy. At 33 I am to
young for that. But building furniture sounds very appealing.
