should have gotten a CCNA instead :doh:

MCSE at least allows you to work anyplace that isn't exclusively Mac.

Novell is mostly used at academic locations. Which generally A) Don't pay for shit and B) Need few employees.

I am a Network Admin. Honestly if you are very technically sound and have strong networking skills then def get CISCO certified. By having no strong background and just taking the class and getting certified you will see and so will interviewers that you really dont kow shit. Basically its not a beginner cert. Get your Network +, then get MCSE then I would go to the CISCO certs.

CCNA is a good resume padder. Of course it helps too if your going to use it. Go for it.

I hinted to him while we were at the Computer Associates event last Thursday but I'm not saying too much. The more and more idiot things she does to make her self look bad says it all. I'll let her put herself into the hole.

I heard that the pass rate is about 40%
seems like a waste of money to me, Just get the cheapo A+ certification, thats all employers know to look for anyway.

I got the 3com LAN certification, and most dont even know what that is.

I just finished the 4th semester but I am not going to take the CCNA test though. I won't pass.

www.angelfire.com/theforce/cisco3tcs/one.html
a LAN Threaded Case bullshit we had to do 3rd semester
We had to do 2 more on WAN in 4th semester.

I didn't learn anything since the 2nd semester when I started slacking. If I do decide to take the test. I got some series studying to do.
