I'm currently A+/Network+ certified, along with HP APS, Dell, and so many HP printer certs that I've lost count (25?). My job now is learning/working as a systems admin, and I'm doing the Server+ next week.
So, my question is, what next? I like "getting down and dirty" with the physical part of IT (MCSE?), but, then again, the opportunities for more advanced (MCSA?) training sounds good, too.
BTW, I ain't no spring chicken anymore, so I'd like to hear a few ideas on what other techs have done to continue their careers.

MCSE will come after the MCSA it's the natural progression of the track
the MCSA is more"down and dirty" and the MCSE goes into the design aspect of it, ccna can't hurt for a more thourough understanding of networking
then as you continue to get comfortable in your position you will see what your job role requires as far as specialization, basically as an admin you will never be done learning new things and obtaining new certs, for the simple reason that studying for a cert forces you to learn the material
The line of thinking that you guys expressed falls in line with my own thoughts. I especially liked this:
One of the best lessons I ever learned - if you stagnate, you die.
