Rubbish...

Flame away...

Don't know where you lot have been working, but 3 out of my 4 employers (now a contractor so any training I will pay for myself) have paid for any neccessary training.

I must have had at least 50K's worth from the Sun/IBM/Red Hat catalogue, if you pick the right employers (and you are good enough to work for those employers) then they will pay..simple as that.

Suggest you lot go and work for some decent companies...
