Local classes [Was: Re: O'reilly's learninglab worthwhile?]

[John Wheat]

   The drop in enrollment I believe is valley wide. I took all the Cisco 
classes and even became CCNA certified. This did nothing for my chances 
at actually attaining employment in IT; I think most people realize this 
and just don't bother taking such classes. I am still employed as a 
surveyor and am satisfied with being a Linux/Unix learner for my own 
personal satisfaction. I have noticed the web design classes, 
HTML/Flash/Photoshop ETC. have rather impressive enrollment at MCC.
