Why? Just for the fun of it? Does your job require it? Are you expecting
big bux as soon as you get your certificate? Have you checked out the
job market for MCSE's?

I'm contemplating a school

If that is what you are familiar with and want to be certified in, no,
but it seems to be about the going rate for these ripoffs. How much
experience do you have with the product? $10K is a lot of money, will
your company pay for it? A better route is to buy a few second hand
computers, a switch, and the books. Save the balance of the $10K to live
off while you are looking for a job, you are gonna need it.

The salesman tells me I should complete all

Again, how much experience do you have? If none, the salesman should be
shot. If you are experienced, I suspect you would know better.

Then, obviously take the upgrade 2003 class.

Obviously, why? Are you familiar with 2003? Then go with the 2003 track.
