Congrats. Been there myself regarding getting CompTIA/Microsoft certs.

Thanks!
Just not sure if I want to go for a vmware or CISCO cert after these.

I got Girl Talk tickets for Saturday night. Sunday will be reserved for studying for a licensing exam.

Have fun at that. Fuck there's gonna be some tail there. Take a picture of 18 year old girls for us.

A CCNA will definitely help open up some doors for you and look great on your resume. And if you can be disciplined enough to study your ass off, following it up with a CCNP would be icing on the cake. However, if you can get your foot in the door at the right company and IT dept. You can get your Cisco certs paid for. My brother in law works for Cisco. Has tons of certs, but got in the door a few years back mainly with a CCNA and a lot of actual work experience in a high call volume help desk. After a period of time, management paid for his training and cost of the test for CCNP. He's now moving in to Cisco's sales division on high end routing/user managed switch equipment for big clients. He moved up fast, but the CCNA got him in the door more than MCSE or MS Exchange or A+ or iNet+, etc.....Companies like Cisco and Perot Systems want more than just paper techs. You got to get the certs and some hands on experience before moving into the bigger tax brackets. At least that's been my experience and that of people that I know. Some people get lucky and get a good position based on good old fashion nepotism or having friends in the right places.

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but it's just my 2 cents worth.

Cleaning up and inspecting a Dana 20 transfer case, getting it and a TH350 transmission read to stuff into the postal Jeep sometime this weekend. Kinda sick of the Powerglide.

Oh yea, I hear ya. I been in IT for about 10 years now, just never went in for any certs. I think I'll do CISCO on my own and try to get my employer to pay for vmware next year (they paid for this 2008 server for me on this years budget)
