All the best for the future UCM. You'll be missed round here that's for sure. But I've got a feeling you'll be back!

Cheers mate,

J.

The solution's staring you in the face Cheeck...persuade your better half to take an A+...

 

Sorry to see u go goodluck with the future...

 

Well I am stumped to see u go mate...I think your girlfriend is wrong in saying that u dont need to do the A+ and I agree with Bluerinse on that subject...I think once everything has settled down and ur getting ur life back on track, get urself learning again mate...u know the way I see it this isnt goodbye mate...cos I know u will be back and bigger and stronger too...keep ur chin up son...we're all here for u...

 

Sorry to see you go, Monkey...however if you are working in tech your participation here is still valuable and we might be able to answer a question or two for you on occasion.

Whatever your decision, good luck and godspeed.

Holy cr@p! I spend a day's quality time with my other half and the monkey announces he's leaving!

I can't really add much more to what has already been said, other than to say not to completely give up your studies, perhaps in the quiet times at work you could hit the books?

Good luck my friend in whatever path your future takes.

 

Hey Monkey, it's a sad thing to see someone leave CF and especially someone that has really enlivened the CF atmosphere as you have.

That said, I agree with some of the other comments about what your GF wants. Don't let her push you into doing something that you don't want to do. You might be in the job now and you might not need the certs now, but what happens in a couple of years when you do? As you well know, IT is an ever changing beast and you need to keep up with the changes or risk falling so far behind that it's impossible to catch up.

Whatever you do I wish you well mate.

 

Short but sweet, best of luck to you mate

At least A+ is something you can come back to in the future if you change your mind, I've only been studying it since the beginning of September but I'm taking my time with it so I don't get in a situation where I have to drop something to make another thing work, which I find is the good thing about it. As already mentioned, it's not a race, because if it was by Christ I'd be dangling over the first hurdle.

Anway, thanks for all your help, nothing but beneficial to me.

 

A truly sad day, Monkey - most sincerely. I won't comment on the personal side of things, as it seems most of the guys above have already done so.

Good luck, thanks for bringing so much life and vibrancy to CF, and may all your bananas be bent. Take it easy, mate

 

I really hope we see you around CF again and that its not totally the end of your stay. Come backans visit once in a while.

 

I don't know cheek that well but it's a pity that he's decided to go! I too stopped studying cos I was "in the job" but have now realised that I need to progress as my current salary just ain't covering things! Yeah I know certs won't get me the massive salary but the continous professional development of one's self is the greatest asset that can be put on a CV. Also boosts your confidence no-end...and that's what gets you employed!

don't quit the A+ m8 - certs are for life, girlfirends are...well I'll let someone else answer that!

 

Sorry to see you leave UCM, it's been a pleasure reading your posts, I only hope that at some point they will return with a vengence.

Good look in whatever you do in the future.

Drum, you don't know if that cert with your exp is what saves your cv from NOT ending up in the trash with those that have the exp, but not the certs. Now adays because of the competetion in this field, employers want a bang for thier buck, and they know they will get it because there are a lot more techs then job positions. They have to have a way to weed people out.

 

Of course Mitz, but the more you have, exp & certs, the more attractive the package looks to the employer!

 

Thanks Drum_Dude, do you have a nagging g/f who asked you to stop the A+ or did you stop because of the lack of time to study?

 

Well I spent more time chasing after women, my band got real busy, and I felt safe and sound in my 2nd line support role.

Now that I want to move on and get more money - that'll hopefully lead onto better women & a new drumkit - I need to complete what I started...My experience is good but I just feel that I need to complete my certs! Don't ask why but to me it's just the icing on the cake! I may never work in all of what I study but *hey* I'll certainly have a basic grasp...one that'll at least prevent people bullshitting me...well hopefully!!!

 

I just popped in to see what's happen about that Xmas Drink?

Thank you everyone for your kind words and Advice on this thread

 

So basically what your saying is Women Come and go while A+ is for life?

 

Yep, well my A+ cert is still on the wall and will benefit me for some time to come!
