The mcse certification is no easy test by any means.
It is a rigorous exam which requires an individual pass about 7 tests.
However it all depends on what you are concentrating
on. The mcse certification with security is a great way to go.
As more and more computer jobs go over seas from the
United States, you want to make sure you have a secure job once you get
started. They way to do that is make sure your job requires you have to be
on site.
If you are new to computers and would like to obtain
your mcse, you may want to also study networking. Microsoft released a
great book called networking essentials a few years back.
This book was a requirement for one of the old mcse
certification
tests. It is no longer required but is still a good book to expose someone
to networking.
Do not make the mistake of thinking all you have to do
is get your mcse certification and you will land a job tomorrow.
Remember one of the biggest things that will start your
computer career is experience.
The paper mcse certification syndrome is all too common these days.
You want to make sure you can run a network before you make a fool of
yourself at any job.
The mcse certification changes from year to year all
depending on what operating version of windows Microsoft releases and when
they feel the test needs updating.
You want to make sure you understand old technology as
well as new. If you are going for the server 2003 mcse certification it can’t
hurt to study a few books from windows 2000.
This way you make sure you have both down. Many
companies still run older technology because they cannot afford upgrades.
