50 Questions. 2+ hours. 800.
I used a little over an hour of the allotted time.
I was a little worried by the end.
There were about 10 "Pick 2 or pick 3" questions.
But I did it. Thank Jesus. Woo!
Thanks to everyone for any and all help.

Congratulations!!

So what's up next for you? Besides of course...

ThunderPipe

Thanks!

Well, I of course want to work on the MCSE. But I also have a desire to take a step back and take the A+. Maybe even the N+ or Security+.

Rather than comptia, you ever think of the MCDST and then upgrading it to Enterprise Support technician? Having just passed your 70-270 this would be pretty easy and look great on your resume.

If you don't have a strong networking background I would realy recommend you think about CCENT before moving forward.

I was origninally working on my ccna, but my boss told me to take a step back on that and get my MCP. I've got a few books on CCNA, but I'm just trying to figure out what to do next. I dont really wanna do the MCDST. Don't know why. Its just not sounding good. The Comptia are standards. The MCDST is microsoft XP.

just like with the MCDST, you can use some CompTIA certs as your electives for MCSA/MCSE. A+ & Network+ can be used for the MCSA elective, and I believe you can use Security+ for either MCSA/MCSE electives. There's a few options there, you can check out this link for some more info.

I also briefly thought about doing the MCDST but it just doesn't appeal that much to me either. Dunno why, but I feel the same way about it - just "meh."

Nice to know I'm not the only one. But, "meh" definitely describes the feeling. Spot on!
