Certification or College degrees? Was: RE: list problems?

Not to toot the horn of my Alma Mater too much, but Ohio University's
Communication Systems Management program (www.csm.ohiou.edu) is also along
the lines of a network engineering degree.  It also focus on other aspects
of the industry (regulation, comm theory, security, etc) but they all sort
of flow together.  They were just getting into more hands on networking labs
when I graduated, I am sure they have greatly improved since then.

We actually have that - or something close to it.  We are slowly
building a bigger networking lab with router-ish stuff for students to
learn from.  In fact, I'll be handing off full BGP table for them to see
and play with in the lab.  If you want to help us educate, we'll gladly
accept any donations, particularly gear, we can get.  :-)
