In terms of giving something back, that is the entire purpose of this blog. To share knowledge and discuss freely.

Publishing study information is difficult and I have copyright concerns becuase of where I get my material from. I will, however, try to do more.

What I do take some objection to is your callous disregard of teh cost of books, exams and your end attitude (it would apper to me) of those that say they can’t afford it. You counter with “how much is your career worth?” but what about those that simply cannot afford it?

I’ve been there and got the t-shirt (picked up free at an Expo somewhere). There were many days when my job was paying just enough to cover my bills and food (mostly) yet I’ve always wanted to better myself and move forward. There are those that don’t want this and your question is then potentially valid.

Some folks — I was one — didn’t want to go into debt or borrow on the never-never (look where that’s got us all now) yet we get callously (it seems to me) accused of not wanting to better ourselves or invest in our careers. I was fortunate to get a reasonable job without the cert and was able to start buying books and garteful that this same employer was willing to refund the exam costs.

Instead of berating all these folks — why not give back to them. If they can’t afford to buy a particular book then offer to buy it fo rthem? Or give away your old study material? Or … well I’m sure you can come up with your own ideas. Me — I give away my old stuff to any that want. Some of it may be out of date but it’s a starting place at least.
