Hi ChrisSellsHomes,

If you are going back to school, try obtaining a networking degree or
something of that sort. It should cover a wide range of technologies that are
current and have a fair coverage of multiple vendors.

Should you manage to break into the field, you will know better what cert to
pursue. Basically MCSE is more focus on the MSFT server technology while
CISCO is more focus on their networking technology. A+ and Network+ is kind
of basic cert from a vendor neutral body called CompTIA but some might find
it rather challenging.

Hope this helps.
