Apple Certification

I think traveling to Seattle is in my future! I'm being considered for apple training... starting with Snow Leopard Essentials and then moving on into networking with Snow Leopard. Its some pretty intense stuff. Three days of in-depth MAC training with a big test at the end that determines whether or not you just wasted 2.5k. I'm going to have to do some pre-studying, obviously! I've been using macs now for the last 6yrs, and by nature I'm a curious person who tries to break things and mess with stuff... so I sure HOPE I have a good basic knowledge that will carry me at least through the beginnings of the classes. I'm gonna try to get a training book so I can get started. One of the other big things this means for me, other than getting Apple Certification is that I'll be signing a contract to stay at Vann's for at least 18 months after completion of the courses. I've been trying to figure out what I'm gonna be doing.... Vann's has definitely been figuring hugely into "what do I want to do." In a definite way, this solidifies what's going on, and the direction we're heading as a family. The hope is to get this training, keep working at Vann's, bust my tail, get paid... and sell that Spokane house. Then the Bozeman condo. Then we'd like to buy a house.. and have a baby! (or two?)

Aaaaaand those are the plans. In a nut-shell. I'm a nut, and poor Addie will be retreating into a shell of safety and protection.

  1. ok, so they are gonna pay for it? cuz I was gonna say, you don't have to do the course, you can do what I do and just study for a while then take the test at a testing center near you. But if they are fielding the cash for the course and such then do it. I had that option, to do the week long course before the test but SF wouldn't spring for the 3k for it, so I say NO WAY
