Good day All,
I just joined today although I've been frequenting this site for months. I would like to say that it's great what you guys are doing with all the advice and tech notes you give every day. I started pursuing an IT career last year when I found this site and it really gave the extra boost I needed to get off my butt and try to make the dream a reality. I started school in March to get A+, NET+, MCP, and MCSA certified. I hope after that I'll find an employer that will pay for the MCSE class eventually since I don't want to have too much debt. I've been at my current job for 12 years now but it's a dead end. I'm 37 and don't want to have a life of dead end jobs. I got interested in puters about 4 years ago by having a friend that got me started in online gaming and I've been addicted ever since. With working 48 hrs. a week and going to school three nights a week and studying the rest of my free time there hasn't been much gaming the past three months but that's ok. I've built some puters for friends and family members and they all worked. That's another thing that got me thinking I should do this for a living. I passed my A+ exams on 5-11, scored 780 on both of them. That was a happy day. We have two weeks left in NET+ classes so I'll be taking that exam next month. The school I go to gives us free Transcender vouchers, ( I'm sure that's part of the tuition so maybe they're not free ), which are good to use to make sure you have the knowledge to pass a test. I wouldn't use them as a study guide. Just thought I would say hello. That's all for now,

Every day I'm above ground is a good day.

If you like the classroom environment or the schedule (so you don't procrastinate), by all means, stick with it. Just don't feel like you need to **** thousands into classroom training in order to obtain these certs.
I personally prefer to struggle through it. It may take a little longer, but the suffering and frustration really makes it sink it
I'm not criticizing you in any way -- I just wanted to bring up some other options if you weren't aware of them (I hadn't even heard of virtual machines a year ago, now I can't even imagine doing this without them).
Welcome and good luck.
