I have always been into computers but have never had the opportunity to work
in the field. I just started in Tech support for gateway computers and
thinking about going back to school to obtain an A.s in Networking
Administration and I have an option for MCSE or Cisco and am not sure which
way to go.

I also know that along the way I will have the opportunity to obtain the A+
and net +, can someone explain all these certifications and let me know what
to do to break in to the field?

I won't explain the different certs because I don't spoon feed noobs but
I'll give you some advice. If you want to work in this field learn to do
your own research and always remember Google is your friend.

And since you had the were-with-all to find the communities page at MS
(hereafter known as "the Newgroups Luser Interface") you _SHOULD_ be able
to find a friggin' search button on the same page, or a link called

We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all
know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize?

Second prize is a set of steak knives.

Third prize is you're fired.

Hi ChrisSellsHomes,

If you are going back to school, try obtaining a networking degree or
something of that sort. It should cover a wide range of technologies that are
current and have a fair coverage of multiple vendors.

Should you manage to break into the field, you will know better what cert to
pursue. Basically MCSE is more focus on the MSFT server technology while
CISCO is more focus on their networking technology. A+ and Network+ is kind
of basic cert from a vendor neutral body called CompTIA but some might find
it rather challenging.

Hope this helps.

Bobby
