mcsa/mcse

ok i have the 4 test i want to take for my mcsa the client is going to be the XP exam and then the elective will be the windows 7.
Now my question is will any of the 4 test transfer over to mcse? Honestly i am looking for the best advice and basically a "Advisor" type person on my journey.
I will be thru with the Cisco Network Academy in December so I will be taking my CCNA then and start studying for CCNA: SECURITY AND WIRELESS.
I am also studying for the Security+ and the A+(to get out of 3 college courses).
But want to obtain my MCSA as fast as possible and get these certs done to go with my experience to help solidify my career.
I am 27 married with 2 kids(7 and 5) and was laidoff a year ago and needing to get things wrapped up.
Any help be it thru here or PM would be awesome, and if you know a place to get books cheap or may want to loan me a book to study pleasecontact me.
Thanks,
Jay

Yes, the MCSA is a subset of the MCSE. It's all laid out in a straight-forward manner here: MCSE Certification | MCSE Training | Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer
This wouldn't slow you down at all if you plan to pursue the MCSE and since you would already have Security+, you would only need to take 70-299 - Administering Windows Server 2003 to earn the MCSA:Security.
Check out the MCSA reqs here: Systems Administrator| MCSA | Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator
then take 293,294, 298 to reach my mcse?

Yup.
Note: Real men take 70-270 and usually fail the first time.
