I appreciate the info, the only problem is actually getting all that information. When I started my major I literally had pretty much no computer background at all. The most I've done on my computer is wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall the drivers. It's just frustrating because when I talk with people from my classes it really makes me realize how far behind I actually am. I know it's my own fault for not researching my major more before I chose it, but it would have been nice if I knew b4 hand to try and teach myself different things before I started. It's just frustrating because I'm pretty far in now and I actually want to learn and succeed in this field, I just don't always know where to look.

CCNA is some tough stuff. Studying for it right now. I can't even imagine what the CCNP and CCIE would be like. Anyone have any input on MSCE?

CCNA is tough, one of the thing that makes it tough is that I find it extremly boring. I got into the computer field based on interest and that had me prepared before I even had any classes.

Get the A+ then get an entry level job.

I have a cert (Windows Server 2010) and still no job. I keep getting shot down after interviewing for lack of experience. It's a killer, @$!% experience.

I have my A+, taking my Net+ next month. I have an interview today for an entry level help desk job. Switching From the customer service field to the IT field was a big move for me and so far things are coming together. I also plan to pursue the more important certs mentioned above in the future. Glad so much changed for me in a year

Got two years of entry level help desk experience for the government under my belt with no certs yet. I will have a A+ at least within the next three months though.
