Not only coding, but everything pertaining to computing Is my hobby.

I've yet to attend a single minute of schooling In any facet of IT.

I've been on a PC since I was five years old and have no formal training either. I'm kind of disappointed because a business opportunity where I could get some real funding, well, they want a minimum of A+ and Sec+, so I'm being forced to shotgun these courses they gave me and bow down to capitalism. These tests are like explaining the most basic concepts to a 6th grader. I'm disappointed that this stuff is what I have to do in order to do what I love for a living.

I fully understand your position.

Irrespective of knowledge, most organizations prefer a piece of paper with an authorized signature and stamp of approval. By no means does that define the user's competency In It's entirety. When you've been passionately, dedicatedly and effectively spending a minimum of 12 hours a day exhausting every possible avenue In computing within your capacity, that speaks for Itself.
