    Are you going into Networking with experience or some other type of formal education. You graduated may mean you have you cullinary arts degree :P
    In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

    I'm going to assume you got you're degree in Networking or Information Technology with a concentration in Networking. Don't make your first cert the same thing you got your degree in. Get the A+. It shows that you have ambition, not just that you're ultimate goal is to become a hacker. It also will give you value because you'll be multi-functional. People will know that they can go to you for basic problems. That's why I'm going for it.

    hi Michael2 i got a degree on BS in Information Technology, actually i take the MCTS(70-680) exam because it was free from my college, i don't have a goal as a hacker i only what to be good in networking so that it can help me on my career as an I.T, i guess i will think about taking the A+ , thanks for replying also :D

    It certainly puts the key in and removes the chain. How heavy the door and how easy it is to open it, depends a bit on your experience too :D
