    Hi,

    I have a degree in Computer Science and I obtained my A+ certification about 3 months prior to graduating. I will say that I got mine because a lot of entry level IT jobs require A+.

    If you want to get into Software development than I would say no. Even though most software development jobs require some sort of experience to make a decent amount of money.

    Another thing to keep in mind. I've noticed that most IT jobs require a Computer Science degree (Or similar field) plus certifications to be considered for the job. It's funny, a good friend of mine works a help desk for a very big corp (Symantec Corp.) and he has a degree in Computer Science. He says that he applies none of what he did in college to his everyday job icon_lol.gif

    It all depends what job you want to seek. Good luck with whatever you choose.

    Having your A+ can get you in lots of different places, if you have difficulties landing a job in software dev, you can always go work as a board swapper with your A+ until you get something better going. Gotta eat icon_thumright.gif
