Two questions:)

elite

ok, I have two questions...


1) How much should a network+ certified individual expect for a starting off salary, with no prior on the job experience?

2) Is it true that I can take A+ and only have to take 1 or 2 more exams to get MCSE from Microsoft? What are the guidelines for this? Any links to information on this would be great!


Thanks so much. You guys really are great.

a. It depends on where you live. In many areas even MCSE can not find work (and that includes simple computer builds). I know that in my area most of the places that have newbies only pay minimum and tend to lay off staff as soon as possible.

b. You can use you A+ and Net+ as an elective for MCSA certification.
70-210 (W2K Pro), 70-215 (W2K AServer) and 70-218 (Managing a W2K environment) are the other three exams needed. As far as I am aware this does not work on the MCSE track.
