Sooo... You want to get your MCSE because it is less expensive? In the way
of hands on for Cisco, I will address that last. What is your current job,
and where do you want to be in say one year... Do you at work or at home
have an NT environment with clients and servers to have hands on with DHCP,
WINS et al? Tell us more, (or me) and I will give you a more informed
opinion. :-) Do the letters after my name mean I know everything? LOL no,
but they will help to validate my opinion.

MCSE, CCNA, CNA, A+, and one test from CCNP.

i am working on BCRAN exams and thinking about taking a break after that
and
turn to learning Windows. any advice? the reason i am stopping cisco
exams
for a while is becasue i cannot afford a home lab or taking any hands-on
training. but mcse's class is cheaper.
