Certs are good.....I need to get my a$$ back in gear and pick up/update a few. Security is HUGE and where the bucks are at present.

If you've been working in networking for any amount of time and are comfortable w/ TCP/IP you could probably bang out the network+ one w/ out the training. If you can, take that one 1st to "Warm up" on. A+ is actually harder and, if it still the case, is 2 exams to get the Cert.

Take lots of practice exams and hit the exam dumps to help you out. The Exam Cram series of books are pretty helpful too. You can know this stuff front and back but you need to know the minds of the test writers. After the 1st couple of tests they get easier because you figure out how they are approaching the subject matter, then you're off and running.

I spent 3 years swearing my job title was "Professional Exam Taker"

Good Luck
