most networks (small and medium size business/networks) use NT. So mcse is good
to have, especially if your new in the field. In the MCSE course they'll tell u
a bit about networking, ie packets, frame headers and such....put it this way,
if u dident know that sorta stuff, and when u take the ICND course....you'll get
completely blown away, b/c ICND crams everything in your head for 1 week
straight....and by mid 3rd day,,,,your brain....and i dont care if you were
working as a mr. big shot A+ techy from some computer shop for 5
years!!!..lol.....you'll still get blown away!!..so yay MCSE go for it!!!..=)
p.s., im not really a BIG Microsuck....i mean Microsoft fan....but hey...its
graphic friendly with users!
