Is the Security+ cert worth it?

in Security+
I am a senior in college and have one semester left and am an IT major. I do want to get into the security field and just am curious if anyone has had success after obtaining the security+ cert. I also have been reading that it recently changed? is it more difficult now?

Also...Security+ is a requirement for any government or government contractor work.
It's a good primer for more advanced topics that show up in the more vendor-specific exams if that is something you are looking into in the future.
Granted, the way I remember Security+ back in 2006 was mostly a port-number memorization test but I am there is some good material on newer revisions of it.
I'm in the same boat as you. I have a few semesters left and am right now currently studying for my security +. I'm studying the newest edition of the test 401. My major is cyber security so I'm going to go for security first then networking. Security is where all the money is at and its always changing which is great.
