Database or Server 2012

Guys advice please. About to start on a new track, but don't know whether to go down the SQL or Server 2012 route either 70-461 or 70-410. What would be best, I've got experience of both so either would be good, but thinking from a future career / salary point of view? Any advise greatly received however biased it may be :)

    From my limited perspective, I would suggest doing the SQL route. I say that because I've done 3 generations of MS server certs (so I'm committed yes) but I tend to read/hear that database admins generally make better $ than server admins. The job might not be glamorous though......

    Thanks for the input. Lack of glamour, I think I can live with that, have done for the last x years :)

    I would think the one you have the most experience in I would go for. If you are most server admin then I would go with that if you are most in the MS SQL world I would go with that. Just my two cents. Oh of course whatever you have more interest in.

    If both are areas of interest to you then go for both! Honestly there are some pretty neat positions that involve both Systems Administration/Engineering and database work.

    My current position very much combines both and is a blast! When hiring for other shifts we've come to find very few people have a skill set that contains both of these elements.
