The A+ and Net+ are a great way to get your feet wet. Especially as they
count as electives for the MCSA. How far you care to take your certs from
there depends largly on what your interests are.
As far as practical experience goes, jobs are scarce in the IT field right
now, and likely to stay that way for a while. You may want to check into
volunteering for schools, churches, community groups, etc.
Once you get your A+ and Net+, check out the courseware requirements listed
at: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/default.asp
to see where to go next. Either Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP pro are
logical first steps.
Good luck and have fun, but don't go into this expecting the world to open
it's golden gates because you are Microsoft certified.
