David,
While I tend to agree with you in principal, my experience shows that the
piece of paper is high up in the order. Over the last few years, I have
acquainted myself with the NT4 networks and now I am working on the 2000
class, and yet I am unable to find work because of no paper. At my age
(old), I can't see myself learning the academics of utp, cat5, cat2, rj45
and explaining that to someone for work. Yet, I know I can hook up a NT4
network (except group policies/shares) from scratch, including building
the machines,  with ease, includes internet, intranet. At home, I have
already upgraded to the 2000 network and presently struggling with Active
Directory and remote deployment. But no paper no work. Wish me luck
though.
