A+, Network+, Sever+, Security+ Certification +salary
- Thread starter blklion25
- Start date
Two options
- check out the jobs boards @ ie Monster.com or USAjobs.gov and compare the salaries. (salary.com has online tools for this)
- Forget the A+, Server+ and get the Cisco's CCENT certification. An Network+, and Security+ Certification will give you the basic understanding of computer networks. The test materials can be find on these site.
Finally look up a computer group (blackitprofessional.com or Meetup.com) and start networking with them. Good luck.............

some good advice
The A+ demonstrates competency as a computer technician, and in not vendor specific. The Cisco CCNP ($$)or CCNA ($$$) (are vendor specific) certification validates your ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switches ie networks.
Summary anyone can get and A+. So it not taken seriously (GED of the IT world). The CCNA and CCNP are harder for the lazy to get, but more profitable since you have to apply effort. The "Maybach" of Cisco certification in the"Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert" . IT tech say you can write your own paycheck once you have this, since it so rare. People whose skill set is different,and in high demand than the masses can demand more, since their value to a company will increase. So gardens are a dime a dozen, but a man that can troubleshoot a network problem can demand six figures.
You state early that your choices was Security+($)and Network+. Nice ones to have, and will give you a boarder understanding of Networking!
Ultimately, find something you really, really like doing. No amount a money will make you do a job you hate well. And remember to network with other IT people. Some good jobs are never post online, and it help to work with people you like.
Finally look into IT jobs in insurance, health care and Uncle Sam "Defense". I have yet to hear of lay offs.

Books/Certs are good
Experience is better
Networking and Visibility is the best way
Just like a college degree .........certs help but networking, your people skills (and how much believable bullshit you can spit) will get you farther
That true for white people, black are held to different standards..
Yeah, thank you!! We like to hold each other down a lot versus lifting each other up.

I find that certs get you the interview. Being able to spit game gets you the job. Experience determines your $$ and whether or not you stay at that company.
That pretty much up sums it up. Good summary.
