Re: Just passed my A+
 

Congratulations on your A+, the Network+ exam is not that difficult if you
study, as far suggestions for another cert, I would say go with either a
Microsoft MCP, MCSA, and/or MCSE if you like to break into the IT field,
also take a look at different articles on certifications at
www.certcities.com

Good luck,

Jose

Whilst not doubting the sincerity of this message, it begs the question, why
would anyone bother with these exams if all that is on offer at the end is
the prospect of flipping burgers or cleaning out bogs? Are you saying that
A+ or other exams are a waste of time?

Re: Just passed my A+
 

The poster's original question(s) is a good one: "What next would you guys
recommend inet+, server+ oe security+? Wich one is the most valuable in
terms of looking for a job?"

I don't know the answer to the second question but here's my point of view.
I currently hold an A+ and MCP. I'm working on the Net+ to gain another cert
to add to my resume (and a vender neutral one to boot) and to use as an
elective for the MCSA. I was considering getting the Sec+ to use as an
elective for the MCSE but I've heard that it was very difficult and
considering that security isn't one of my strong points, I decided against
it. After that, I'm going to work on the i-Net+ because it is very similar
to the Net+, I have a lot of experience with Web site design/administration,
and you can convert it into a CIW (Certified Internet Webmaster) Associate.

Again, I don't know which one is more valuable in terms of looking for a
job, but I would be interested in what everyone else thinks about the
matter.

Re: Just passed my A+
 

i-net+ seems to be "easier" - from my point of view, and I'm no Web geek,
by any means. However, Server+ and Security+ seem to run in the same
circles, so to speak. i-net+ isn't going to get me much more pub or cash
in my job (net admin), so I'm looking longer term and running the server
and sec routes now. However, if you're looking for quick alphabet soup on
your sig or if your job offers more $$ or they have a heavy web presence,
i-net should be gravy for you. sec+ seems to command more money and
respect down here (SE US) Just my $.02
