- sho 17y agoSorry to say this but .. I agree with your friend. Your qualifications are pretty much irrelevant in an email; mentioning them anyway may well be taken negatively by some people. Still, at least it's a respectable degree. I once had to converse regularly with a guy who signed his emails "(full name), M.C.S.E.", flaunting those letters like they were equivalent to Medical Doctor or Order of the British Empire or something. Needless to say, merciless ridicule ensued.
- zandorg 17y agoI'd rather have THAT than my stupid degree!
- sho 17y agoHa! Believe me .. no you wouldn't. In many circles an MCSE is like an anti-qualification in that unless the person has a good excuse, it is often viewed as a negative. At best it's neutral. And any employer wanting one - steer clear. In my humble opinion, of course.
