I have a CISSP (for like 4 years now), but nothing else. I did used to have some Cisco ones and a Microsoft one, but they are useless given my current # of years of experience, so I've let them lapse.

I have none

when i was looking for a work practicum 99% of employers would rather hire someone without A+ Certification, for the fct that anyone can write it

not saying that if you have it you won't get a job.

I remember one lady in my class who got her A+ Cert. she could tell you everything in the book, but when it came to actually doing it, she was useless.

I wouldnt try and get a job on a CCNA, A+ or other entry levels certs. but I am also going to do a Uni a course and get a degree as well in some area of computers. I feel I have a better chance of getting a job if I have a CCNA and a Degree compared to a guy who just has a CCNA or who has just a Degree. :D

My Dad is a IT Manager for quite a substantial company and he manages all the hiring of IT staff (as well as other things) He said he would prefer someone with a CCNA and a Degree over just one of them. What he did say which may reflect what you said is he wouldnt hire anyone with a ton of certs. or very high certs. Eg Masters, PhD as people wih these kinda certs. tend to think they are entitled to a much larger salary.

you have to pass a test to get so its almost the same as being certified
