Hi all I am here for some help.
I have a background of Engineering and accounts. But I loved IT from very start I always loved IT. Being in Finance its not really appealing to me. I have decided to take IT as my career path as i Love IT. I have been searching where to start off with. I love Programming but i dont have a degree however someone suggested me to take MCSA Win7.I have learnt PHP,MySQL and web designing in my leisure time. In fact i will start from bottom in this field but i don`t mind as far I love what I do that what`s matters to me. Can anyone suggest me Please.

Many Thanks

Welcome aboard. Hmm... 70-290 was retired last year. Check https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-certification.aspx for current MCSA options.

First question is what are your interests?

you will get the help desk jobs with microsoft certs. If you wanna go big, go with Cisco certs. Start with CCNA & then broaden the horizon with CCNP & then RedHat certs. If I was you, I wouldn't waste my time going for Windows 7 MCSA.

Thnx cyperguypr, As am quite new to IT in relation to choosing courses my interest are , troubleshooting but not at basic levels I want to go in advance networking but obviously gotta start from basic.
Thnx omi for ur reply, in fact I want to big step by step so ditching mcsa and going for CCNA is good option u reckon. I asked these question in different forums but I got replies like I shall start off with A+ etc... Main idea behind choosing a course is that after completion of that course I can get intoa entry level job and then work my way up. Many thanks guys much appreciated.
