Richard, At the risk of jumping to conclusions, I think there's probably some confusion here, a masters degree is probably not what they are looking for at all. It's a common misconception that people have about the MCSE, a diploma issued by Microsoft, stating that the holder is qualified to operate a Windows NT-based network. Because of a lack of non-technical information about the diploma, many people become confused, and because of the "M" in the title, the acronym has been contstrued to mean many interesting (incorrect) things, including "Masters in Computer Systems Engineering", ofcourse, it really means "Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer". I'm thinking there may have been some miscommunication somewhere along the lines where an MCSE turned into a Masters :) An MCSE is probably the likely thing the company would want, seeing as they are using NT machines. Somebody with a masters shouldn't be working as a sysadmin, that would just be wrong :) Will On Tue, 27 Aug 2002, richard childers wrote: > Some people might suggest that Linux has hardly been around long enough > to someone to *become* a so-called 'senior Linux administrator'. > > What constitutes 'seniority' in Linux? > > And what does the master's degree have to be in? > > Inquiring minds want to know.
