  • 20 years ago, the right wing propaganda machine was focused on (before they went full out fascist) low taxes for the “job creators” such as corporations and rich people, on the basis of that leading to more lucrative job opportunities for everyone else. The thinking was that the people and corporations in this low-tax environment would have incentives for creating jobs “here” instead of moving them overseas.

    Not everyone on that side of the isle have realized that this results in jobs still ending up overseas, along with money that could’ve funded schools, roads, libraries, et al. And many of those who have realized it continue along the same path because it’s too profitable for them to do so.

    Remember this next time you hear slogans such as “trickle down economy”, or Glitch McConnells favorite: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”.












  • IMPORTANT EDIT: It seems a lot has changed regarding how this is done. Amongst other things, CCNA can be taken online these days. If your system meets the requirements (windows and macos only, sadly), you don’t have to show up to a testing location. Outside of that, you find a testing location near you via the link posted further down.


    Most likely not. Cisco certs and their exams are administered by Cisco and not by normal educational institutions.

    However, some educational institutions might be able to run the exam. If you feel you know the material well enough, you can contact any of the certification places and have an exam.

    Technically, you don’t need to pass anything in advance to take the exam, but it helps to make sure you know the necessary material. On that note, if you’re into hardcopy study material, these books cover everything. They’re not as intimidating as they look, and they’re quite well written:

    Edit: Looks like Cisco is partnering with Pearsons now. You register online and pick the exam location
