I have a bachelor's in computers and have been programming and working with databases for nearly 10 years. While I am content at this point, I can't see myself coding for the next 40 years. I feel like I'm starting to burn out and not really excited about CONSTANTLY learning new programming...

This question is directed to those who earn salary pay. How many hours are you expected to work a week? I'm looking into a programming position which pays salary. My fear is that I would be working 60-70 hours a week for no extra overtime pay. What steps would I need to take to protect myself...

I have a B.S. degree in CIS and looking to continue my education. I am in a jack of all trades position (PC support, databases, programming, etc) and really do not see any benefits in getting a vendor certification. I would like to get some type of a business degree, however. I've been...

Add up all the time you spent studying for these certifications. Now add up all the time you spent taking the tests for these certifications. Add in the casual discussions, techno chats and meetings. Now multiply that by your current hourly rate. Add all the money you spent on internet time...

I'm pondering whether or not I should get certified. I'm a jack of all trades with skills in programming, tech support, networking, and databases and have almost 6 years of experience with a BS degree in Info Systems. I thought about going through the certifications process and getting the A+...
