I'm all for an educated public, but I'm just sick of the unrealistic 
requirements of some of these positions.  I see now it is a Preferred 
requirement to have a Master's.  Entry level positions are going away 
and transitioning from say, helpdesk or desktop tech to server admin is 
near impossible.  I'm still trying to figure out how to make that 
switch.  I did actually get interviews in that area over the summer, but 
not as many as I had hoped.
