MCSE Specialization

Hi all,

I ran a search on the newsgroups and didn't find an answer, so I'll just
post my question. I apologize if this is a repost.

I just past the 4th test for MCSE in Windows 2000 and now I have to decide
which elective to take. I'm wondering if there are any benefits that come
with Messaging Specialization vs Security Specialization. Or should I skip
them. I read some other posts and a lot of people say experience is key too
and I agree, but is there an edge to choosing one of these over the other?

Thanks for your help.

Security is the hot topic right now

The only benefit would be if your job required a specialization. For
example, you peruse the job listings in your company or metro area and
notice numerous postings looking for MS Exchange gurus. In that case,
a messaging specialization would give you an edge and make sense.
Security is currently a hot topic so it certainly wouldn't be a bad
idea to pursue it but IMHO, a specialization is not necessary and yes,
experience is King!

Congrats on your progress and Good Luck!

Mrs. Bong, I would suggest that you go for whichever you like better, or
whichever offers jobs in your area. I don't think I've ever seen anyone
advertise for a specific specialization, but the right one might get your
resume past HR.
