instinct,

I apologize if I was too harsh on my comments above, I however do not fit into most of the criteria you mentioned above (H1B, High paying job etc)., however I do have a career in IT and I am passionate about what I do, so next time I call the "!"(BANG) sign "exclamation mark" kick me in the rear.

I have nothing against people who work at gas stations and the like and who are trying to make a living while pursuing a career. I have nothing again everybody in Indian Consultancies.My spite is against those who like to take the shortcut and act as if they are superiror to rest of the population. My spite is against those high paid IT professionals who act as if they are all that and some more when they reached to where they are by the means of inflated resumes and all of that. My spite is against the arrogant MCDBAs, MCSEs and the Oracle Certifieds who got through these tests solely based on Braindumps, try that for a RHCE. My spite is against those who consider themselves cream of the crops and downtalk people in IT who struggle to find a job despite of the education and the experience they have.

A lot of Nepali guys (or any nationality for that matter) with a degree in Comp sci/ Eng/ MIS are working at gas stations or returning to Nepal, because of the non-IT population getting into these companies as a consultant. Not as much this year but plenty in the past.  So please "NON-IT BACKGROUND HAVING IT-PROFESIONALS, PLEASE" show some  respect when you are around these people, they are NOT inferior to you.

 "You must be One smart ass..Don't judge People by whether it's a slash or Pipe..As Long as he knows what it is doing it's perfectly fine with me ..Sometimes people make their own terminology"

<-- That is called ignorance and hey, ignorance is bliss, so I suggest you celebrate. Me a smartass? if the shoe fits, I wear it, but please get your terminologies correct if you want to get respect in the field you oh so claim to be of your passion. If you really have a background you would know a pipe is a pipe and a slash is a slash. Accent has got nothing to do with not knowing the term, ignorance does.. so wake up and smell the coffee.

Lastly, I apologize to instinct for jacking this thread.

And guess what, if my posts offend you, it served my purpose!
