        I have a A+ but it's kind useless IMO.. I'd never pay to get one.. other than what the test cost.
        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                A+ and MCSE. That was about 5 years ago though so not sure if they're still valid.

                      Are any of the lower level certs (A+ N+) worth anything really?
                      Or do you need something like CCNA or MCSE to get a job?

                        Those certs are like Foundation classes.. Pre requeists if you will...


                        If you don't know A+ hardware/OS and Basis networking you will Die in the CCNA class and MCSE

                          i got my a+ but only because where I graduated from they paid 75% of it. Easy as fuck. Didn't both going after anothing else. Around here no jobs require it, and most people don't know what the hell they are.

                              CNE and MCSE here.. (CNE was Novells Cert but I got mine back in version 2.11) MCSE is Like 8 yeasr old, not sure if it's valid anymore either..

                              BUT, with both those certs in hand and a dollar... you can buy a soda just about anywhere!

                                      Does getting any of those actually do you any good? What's a good in demand certification now a days? and what's the expected salary one can get with a cert like that?

                                        CCNA, not much of an accomplishment.

                                          Bullshit. As a hiring manager, you were almost always disqualified if you came in with A+ or Net+ on your resume and you thought it meant a damn thing.

                                          CCNA is _almost_ as bad, though we'll actually listen to your answers vs just blowing you off like we fo the A+ people.

                                            A cert is a dessert topping, nothing more. It may help you get in the door for an interview, but thats really about it. Degrees carry more weight then certs when doing salary negotiation, but the question you've asked is mostly bogus.

                                            In what field do you want to work, what experience do you have in an enterprise, how long have you been doing X, etc.

                                            Good in demand? RHCE, CCISP, CCIE(and the variants), etc. MCSE is probably still useful to some.

                                            I've an AIX cert and a solaris cert. Started doing the RHCE but it has very little relevance in my current world.

                                                    You people who say the certs are worthless are off your rocker.

                                                    Sure they're not the be all end all, but you can't really get your foot in the door for an entry level job without one (or several)

                                                    Experience is of course the major determining factor when it comes to salary but you can't get experience without a job, and you probably can't get a job without some certifications.

                                                        I'm guessing that having a cert is alot like passing the bar exam or the cpa exam or whatever.
                                                        It doesn't guarantee you a job but it's going to be damn near impossible to find a job without passing those tests.

                                                        I'd like to see more discussion here about this from some people "in the know"
                                                        I have alot of free time these days and was thinking of taking some classes in this area to beef up my skill set and possibly have something to fall back on in case adult implodes one day.
