Re: Student-Degree valuable or not?

["Brian G." <brian () fireflydigitalmedia com>]

I was an IMO/ISSO/IAO for the 249th Engineer Batallion at Fort Bragg. I 
had 150 users, a Secret Level terminal and went through the NM/SA Class, (Which 
I really enjoyed.) Since I got out about 14 months ago, I have been running a 
network security/network installation and repair business along with a day job 
(not IT related). 
I also started going to school to get a BS in Computer Programming. 

I believe the degree IS definitely a necessity, and I would try to get any 
certifications you can wrangle as well. I think there is an Army Network 
Auditing course, lie cheat beg or steal to get into it. Last bit of advice, get 
you an old machine and learn Linux if you haven't already, it should be pretty 
easy, esp. if you are running Solaris.


Good luck, contact me offline if you want any more info:

 I myself am wondering whether a BS in CS will help my situation, or am I
 already employable.  My current situation has me working as a network
 tech/security professional for the Army, with a security clearance.  When I
 get out, I'll have 3+ years of on the job experience, but unless I can get
 some time to myself, I doubt I'll have much beyond a MCP for W2K
 administration, and some Army training in network defense.  Any
 recommendations on how to bolster my resume?
