I?m economist, but my real interest always were computers. I?ve been working for 15 years with computers and data bases. Lately, my boss told me about that he needs me some “computer degree” to retain me in my job. If I won?t take it he fires me. However, my knowledge in computers sistems are simple, I?m not a programer. The work always been “application design”, where I did some usage tests, and recommendations.
Since one year, I?ve been enthusiastic with “bi”. I?ve read a lot and I told myboss over, so he felt me like a “rival” and he has decided to take me apart with the “certification” issue. I look is very important to take our first steps in “bi”, we need the server machine, software and migration data base advises.
In perspective, I want to take in my job for one year more, but the certification? What could I do?
Any certification exam, in my country, is not cheap, it?s about us$ 10.500.
Your advise is very valuable.
