If you are a system analysis and you are tasked with the setting up and the development of computer networks for other people, must you be aware of the software they need to use? For example, if you set up a network for a travel agency, do you need to know the software they need to use? Likewise, if you set up a network for an employment agency, must you know what software they need to use for their company? Or someone else will do the job for you?

The hype of doing MCA seems like a rat race to me, ask anyone and the answer is same MCA but i have seen many people doing certificate courses like MCSE, CCNA , SAP and oracle etc. and earning a handsome salary in big IT companies like wipro, infosys, TCS etc. So what to do after doing BCA? here are the options---- 1. MCA (3 years of hard work not knowing the future prospects) 2. MBA (eyeryone wants to have one MBA degree, isn't it) 3. MCSE, CCNA, SAP, ORACLE (System administrators, networking is the in-thing these days, what u think?)

What other hobbies do you have besides trolling and counter-trolling, which appear to be main job descriptions here--besides other activities that apparently are done to compensate for respective shortcomings in the real world? I like your answers all. @Kev and PC: Technically, "work" is not a hobby. Hobbies are activities that waste time and money--work is the opposite lol. @Patrick: your boss knows you are sneaking a peek at FB. Trust me. @Japs: Like you, I enjoy the free amusement I gain from reading certain Q&A's here, especially those from the oversensitive "loony bin" types who are so easily influenced...is priceless.
