in General Certification
Well I am about to pass my Network+ in a few short days, after that I have to pick from my MCDST or CCNA, which one should I go for? Also anyone know the cost of the MCDST tests off the top of your head?
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Go for CCNA. It'll be more cost effective for you.
    MCDST requires 2 exams at 125USD each.

    It depends... do you want to go the network admin path or desktop support/sysadmin path?
