Hi, I'm curious what are people's opinions on the different IT certs and why they think it's fun.
I'm looking forward to starting a course

OptionsULWiz Member Posts: 722No cert is fun studying for. It takes a long time to study for some certs with lots of hours going into running labs with different objectives. Not sure any of this is fun but its how you have decided to make a living. The reward is getting a nice paying job and advancing your experience.
But i have to agree that the CEH would be the most intersting CERT along with cisco CISSP exam.

Even though I'm doing a Microsoft Cert now (70-270) I'll probably switch to Cisco because I've always enjoyed the networking side more.My Cisco Blog Adventure: http://shawnmoorecisco.blogspot.com/

Optionsundomiel Member Posts: 2,818Just from what I've looked into it looks to me that studying for the RHCE looks like the most fun. It seems like it has the most fun test to me. Of course you can call me weird because I think that building DNS servers is fun.

It looks good to the people who can appreciate it, and you can always leave it off your resume if you feel that it's going to be a problem with a particular employer. -

OptionsJDMurray Admin Posts: 13,035 AdminI really enjoyed studying for the A+ the most. It was fun to study a subject that is also a hobby. Because of the adaptive testing method used at the time, the actual A+ exams I took back in 2003 were a joke, but studying for them was fun.
