    <- me, after passing my last two MS exams.

    I got my MCSD.NET at the end of last year (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/63489/1.ashx) and as someone suggested, MCDBA was a logical next step.

    I passed "70-228 SQL Server 2000 System Administration" last week and just passed "70-290 Maintaining a Windows 2003 Server Environment" today so I'm now an MCDBA (Microsoft Certified Database Administrator).

    I'm now thinking of persuing the 'server track' - 2 more exams woudl get me MCSA (System Administrator) and 3 more after that MCSE (System Engineer).

    Multiple certification being **a very good thing**

    Fantastic! Congrats Simon.

    Now stupid question: what is the difference between a System Administrator and a System Engineer?

    3 exams ... boom boom !

    An MCSA operates a system whereas an MCSE is more qualified to design and implement it as well. The MCSE includes everything that the MCSA certification does.

    Go Simon!

    Wow you work hard at your education (and family and board)

    Where do you find the time?????

    You are such a role model for overcoming problems. After reading your series about your jw life and exit, it just astounds me how far you have come!

    I am so happy for you and your family. Congratulations dear.

    Oh, I've gotta see Simon wear that hat. That would make a great addition to his avatar.

    Simon,

    I've always felt that you were certifiable.

    good for you, Simon. Go for it!

    Now, how much closer will those bring you to Bill Gates status?
