Cool! Just starting out, or are there titles out that you've had a hand in?

Doing any PS3 development? Is it as hard as they say?

With the escalations in house prices, should that not be changed to, "...$600,000 to $2-million houses...?" LOL

LOL, that was what I wondered when I read his job as well. There are a few people on here that it would be neat to pick their brains.

I was a CAD Technologist for 3 years, I decided to change careers about 4 years ago. I became an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer and haven't looked back since.

I'm actually already working full-time as a Land Admin right now to get experience in Land, then I'll be transferring over to Land Agent. I just have to figure out a way to avoid going to Olds College to do it... Not going to school for Admin though, they hired me without any knowledge/experience, and now that I'm in the door, I figure I'll just 'learn on the job'.

I hear there's an interim Land Agent license... anyone know how to go down that track to Land Agency?

Hey,

I have a Computer Network Engineering degree.

CCNP and MCSA designation.

I work mostly as a Server 2003/BrightStor Backup level 3 support with Level 1 and 2 mixed in because we have only 2 IT people in Canada for 674 domain account users (746 email addresses).

I am working on getting my MCSE designation, after about 3-4 years I will likely look for a job as a Network Engineer (I dont like to flip jobs - I feel an obligation to a company who offered me 23% more wage than the nearest interview). My buddy who works as in Shaw Tech support says I should get a job as an installer because they make "crazy money".

I also own/operate a small IT buisness MYXK Inc. Mostly installing wireless networks for apartment buildings and refurb condos (I offer 1,3,5 year support options with clauses for refunds in case I move from Calgary). I also do IT support/computer setup/builds. My clients are 100% refferal, if you dont name drop a former client I wont accept the buisness.

Cheers

MYK
