please man, i will 0wn that test with a 5.9 or maybe a 10 or something....

you'd be lucky to get a decent job with just an A+. Hell, IMHO an A+ is barely worth the paper you get from it. AS for the net+, personally I don't feel that it has a whole lot of revelevance either. I bought a net+ book not too long ago (on sale- $20) and it took me about 3 days to know the material it covered. It starts to get into some good stuff, but it never really goes too deep into anything.

But as I said above, I would like to have both of them because I feel having any cert under your belt is better than having nothing. All I'm saying is that they are extremely easy, and don't really teach you anything difficult at all. The tools that you will aquire is nothing more than the basic knowledge that any IT worker is just expected to know.

Go with A+ first, then build your way up, next go to CISCO, or some. You pick. If you want info on testing, books, etc email me hkzknight@linuxmail.org a long time ago in March I wrote a nice long post about that to someone. I got my lib of that shit.

Dear god I hope you're kidding

i've almost finished CCNA, i'll lookin forward to CCNP, ORACLE, and some programming. Linux Administration is also somethin i wanna learn.

If anyone needs help with anythin related to ccna or anything else related with CISCO just say so.

hell no im not kiddin. im probably gonna get like a 1500 or something

you bet bro, me too hell yeah me too.

PHP RULEZZZZ YA

so? , i have mass respect for oracle techs ... I'll tell you about it sometime.

also, A+ is worthless, but it is now standard.

ah why the hell is everybody saying A+ is worthless? I learned a lot from reading a A+ guide. Everything I know about hardware came from it (enough to build a computer) and I'm a mad DOS memory tweaker.

Just because many of you take the damn cert just to pass a test and therefor learn almost nothing from it doesn't mean you should diss it.

I learned a lot from the A+. But now that I know that material and I see where it will get me, I think the cert itself is meaningless. What is A+ gonna get you in this world? THat's all I'm saying. The fact of the matter is that every IT worker must know the material it covers. It is like the equivilent of say a cook knowing how to turn on the stove.

A+ is nothing more than the very basics that every IT worker should know. There is nothing complicated in it, nor is there anything that will earn you a whopping $200,000 a year.
