I went through 5/6ths of the way for an mcse.  One more test and I could
have had it.  It didn't mean much any more when Microsoft decided to
expire them.  I'm still interested in certifications, but ones that
don't expire like comptia's.  Those are entry level tests however.  Once
I have a base level I'd like to get some higher level ones that I would
expect to be regularly tested on every few years.
