I hold several certifications also, and R. McCarty is right, there is no
substitute for actual hands-on experience. I wasn't nearly prepared as I
thought I was after getting certs. They are a plus to have but hard to rely
on as your only computer education.


However, I just studied a little and did a few practice exams.The

Besides being questionable most are overpriced. You may find paying 5-15
years for a school loan for certs would be better spent getting some type of
college degree.
