Microsoft Certification - Where to begin

07-02-2004, 02:33 PM

Hello all, Im currently looking at getting my feet planted
firmly in the industry and am interested in starting from
the ground up. I recently finished my CompTIA A+ and N+
and am looking for advise on what certification(s) I
should pursue next.

Someone recommended MCDST as my next step.

Just looking to hear of more recommendations.

Thxs in advance

What is your goal? If you want to be a network admin, yea
MCDST would be a good start and it goes with the A+ and
Network+ then get your MCSE
The more certs you have, the easier it is to get a job.

You may have to take a job as tech support or something
where the pay sucks in IT (or maybe even CompUSA fixing
them) for the 1st year but as long you keep getting
certs, you can move up from there.
