I am a British national and I studied engineering in school, I have been trying unsuccessfully to do a career change for 8 years now.
I managed to get Sun certified at the beginning of this attempted change but I have not been able to get a job!
I am now completing my MSc in Information Technology
but my fortunes hasn't changed.
Nobody wants to give you a job if you dont have work experience, how can anyone get on the ladder?
My certifications didnt get me anywhere.
