After 15 years of casual PC use and being "the guy" that all my friends call whenever they're having PC problems, I'm finally going through and looking at certifications so I can maybe get a decent entry-level job somewhere.
I'm 24, a fast learner as far as software/hardware is concerned, and i'm getting different opinions from people as to which Cert I should get first. I'm fairly certain I want to eventually get an MCSE, so I figured i'd start with an MCP, but some people are telling me to start with an A+ cert.
So my question to you good people is, MCP or A+ first?
Which one will help me get a decent (anything over 20k net) entry-level job after I get it?
