Well, my approach has been to immerse myself in as much
Windows/Linux/web/GUI/networking stuff as possible.  I reached the conclusion that it is near
impossible to predict where the computer industry is going.  Given that, I am
trying to cover as many bases as possible.  Currently, I am enrolled in 7 classes
at local community colleges.  Call it the 'shotgun approach' if you like.

All of this stuff is fairly easy but there is sure a LOT of it!  Sometime
soon I will be collecting various Microsoft and Cisco certificates.  That is
becoming something of a requirement for employment as far as I can tell.  Any
other opinions on that?

PS: CA is now charging all of $54 for a 3 unit comm. college class - a
bargain!
