 where to train??
If you could go anywhere to train for under a $10,000 (U.S) budget, where would you go? What institute gives you the most worthwhile training? I have anything security related or WAN related to pick from. I don't necessarily prefer one over the other, but I would like to go somewhere that would really look good on a resume. It doesn't have to be related to achieving a certification. I would like opinions on where you guys would go if you had your pick. NO bootcamps, though. I want something I will come back with retained material, I personally don't believe in boot camps.

I would spend it at Auto-Diesil college. Then start your own car repair shop. They make money hand over fist.

guess I should have specified intelligent repsonses only, please. Typical feeback from a monkey who can't spell "diesel" and a certified jackass who never has input above a third grade level. No wonder these forums are going down the tube.

3rd grade? Shutup big poopoo head *rasberry*
If I wanted to be seen as intelligent, I would go hang out at the Disney forums.
Seriously though, $10,000 isn't much as far as education goes. If I had $10,000 of my own cash(non loans/grants etc..) I would use it for self education. I know I would personally learn more if I bought my own equipment(or rented) and studied on my own time.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I would do that instead of getting a real college degree, but a four year degree would cost much more than $10,000. Those bootcamps and quick little training programs never seemed like a good idea to me. Although I suppose if you are not the self learning type, you could always enroll in single courses at your local community college. Or maybe a combo of self study and courses at a community college. Of course, that is just my opinion and what I would do if I had $10,000 to blow, and if was not able to head over to las vegas.

what the hell does my intelligence having to do with asking a legitimate question? I thought maybe there were people on here who may have had opinions on some of the better schools to train. I didn't realize that I would get jumped on by some of the elite members of the nitwits gang. If you don't have anything to add, then don't post. Speaking of intelligence, I've never seen an intelligent post from you yet. You devote your time obsessing over another board member so I wouldn't go throwing around words you know nothing about. I'm sure you'll slam me back with the latest insult you heard at recess today. Punk.

Me thinks gonzo needs a tampon.
I think it's particularly idiotic to ask people that you don't know what career path you should take and how you should spend $10,000. If you're going to be that wreckless with the money, ChrisDfer was right. Take it to Vegas.
As for my answer, I wasn't kidding. Auto technicians bill out at $80/hr in my area whereas a computer tech bills out at $25/hr.
Go fix cars instead of computers. Your temperament can't handle this industry anyway.
If a little sarcasm hurts your feelings, you'll never be able to face the day-to-day mayhem of end user hell.
