Would've never thought of you as a pharmacist, thought maybe you're a business person. i hated dc vs mk the characters move horribly and it just sucks. I've hated mk since mk4. Street Fighter 4 FTW!

lol, i would have never thought i'd end up bein a pharmacist! i wanted to do music full time but eh! as long as the paycheck covers the gamin bill im good to go :D

truth be told i also projectile vomited after playin a pc version of MK4 and i've also hated it since (ammagedon? seriously wtf!) but honestly, dc vs mk got me a bit intrigued as seeing as i only really play fighters and rpgs, i was thinking "what the hell, why not!"

but R700 price tag can never justify curiosity.

ive resigned myself to only buyin games i absolutely wanna play.

Best bet is to get ur A+ and MCSE if u want an IT Job. It Jobs pay very well, with those 2 certificates u could earn up to R15 000 easily.

Not so much anymore.... to get R15k pm you'll need 3 years experience at least...

I'd suggest thinking about going to a REAL university and doing either a BCom or a BSc... they'll give you the best grounding.

BUT, and I'll say this up front.. if you're getting into IT to earn good money, you never will... you only earn well in IT if you have a passion for IT....

'IT' is a really broad term. What do you want to do (desktop support, network admin, IP, programming) ?
Generally, the more specialised you are the higher the salary, but you must be willing to study (and keep studying) and gain experience.

I don't think 'IT' is get-rich-quick industry anymore.

yeah yeah yeah i know :) i started off with a 286 when i was 10. I can basically build a pc with my eyes closed. Im thinking more along the lines of network administrator. Im more hardware. Oh should mention i do xbox flashing and rrod repairs in durban as a side line thing to make some cash. Thanks for your replies guys.
