    Hi

    has anyone read that article on vb world about you vb career, it is written by dax, and is very interesting,

    what did you think of it??

    http://www.vbworld.com/misc/career/

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    I've actually had that article for a couple of months now, since I work for Dax He sent me the preview...

    Mostly I'd agree, but it takes a lot of risk.

    Hi Zmerlinz,

    I like the part where he says that having a nice degree is not the same as having talent. I would have to agree with that.

    He's not a programmer, but our sys admin has a bachelors degree in 'computer-something-or-other' and if he didn't learn it in college, he won't try it, do it or research it. I think he's doing himself a disservice by not learning new skills.

    Strange guy, he must do virtually nothing in that case since they teach you pretty much ***** all that you'd be using every day at work.

    Tell me about it - It's gotten so bad that we've had to go outside of our company and hire a contractor to do what he should be doing. He's on his last legs but for now it's just frustrating!!! ARGHHH!!!
