My address is incorrect so...you cannot reply to me. But I thought that
I would just say....
I am a graduate of Iowa State University. I know that salaries for IT
can be low in Iowa depending on where you live. That said, I have a
friend who obtained an MCSE before graduating with an MIS degree from
ISU and he made $35k upon graduation. The company paid for his MCSE
classes _before_ he graduated from ISU. He worked in Des Moines and not
for a large co.(about 120 desktops max).
I also have an MIS degree and am almost ready to take the CCNA(mid
July). I am already starting to select CCNP CCDA materials to study. In
my opinion you need a CCNP / CCDP to make a buck in this field because
the level of knowledge has to be there for the company to 1) hire you 2)
leave you to do a task unattended. If they cannot leave you unattended
to do a task...then what good are you?

Working on CCNA(1 month)...CCNP / CCDP (before december possibly).
