2.) What can I do with mealy an A+ Certificate, and maybe Net+ besides "not much."

3.)How difficult is the MCSA and some kind of MS server certificates to pass compared with A+?

I just wanna know what Im getting into before I jump. Any info is appreciated! Thanks :sol:

#1. it varies greatly by location.

#2. it depends on who hires you and for what position, most jobs require experience.

#3. the MCSA and MCSE are considerably more difficult to study for than A+ but the tests are based off different criteria. Keep in mind that it's expensive and for example MCSE is a minimum of 7 (if i remember correctly) tests.

ahhhh, you beat me to it boonality, but that sounds right

I took my A+ and Net+ in 3 days of testing in a row, they were pretty easy as i didnt do much studying, but in my opinion they are only good enough to say you know something about computers and or networks.

I also recommend any Cisco cert. they are very valuable in any larger city.

If you have a College Degree, grab the CCNA and MCSE.
Don't worry about A+.

You should be able to grab entry level jobs fairly easy that do not involve hardware repair and pay more. A+ would not add anything to such a resume.

However, If you do not have a college degree, an A+ would great with the CCNA or others. A College degree is not required to move up, but without it you are less likely to get the well paying non-hardware jobs out of the chute.
