i have to pick wihc "track" i want to take in a few months, the dean said that i should know what i want to do when i start taking my networking courses, but, can anyone describe what these are?:
MS Certified Professional Track and MS certified Systems Eng. Track, they dont give a description of those, but im sure ill find out more when i take my classes.... but i wanted to know ahead of time, if anyone knew.
 
An MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) is someone who has passed the 4 "core" and 3 "other" MCSE exams.

An MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) is someone who has passed anywhere from 1-6 of the MCSE exams.

An MCP is just another title. An MCSE is definitely where you want to point yourself tword.

 
worthless....

anyway, if you have access to cisco router, start learning.. or just read up on them... keep up with network technologies, fibre, etc, wiring, basica networking skills/administrations...

training manual often lack the real objective which is to learn the equipment not to take a test
 
I totaly agree with forcesho,

Way too many people are getting caught up with this MSCE stuff. You need real world expericence first! A MSCE behind your name may impress some people but it wont't keep you employeed if that is all you have. Some of us are making pretty good money in the networking world and I don't have any certification (ah, yeah I guess I do now, I'm certified to teach CICSO classes now). Like forcesho said, start with the hands on stuff first, then the MSCE stuff will start to make sense.
 
Hell, you'll use networks even if you never TOUCH a microsoft product. This is just a really useful thing to know, regardless of what "track" you take. Learn everything you can about TCP/IP networking, and maybe something about routing. IPX/SPX is pretty much useless...

I agree with forsho and H.A.R.M. - get hands on experience. Summer jobs and interships are VERY valuable!

Please note that Networking is NOT the same thing as Systems Administration. An MCSE will help you make a little more money as a sysadmin, but it does not even come close to giving you any depth of knowledge about being a Network Engineer. If you are interested in "networking", start going down the CISCO route. Go out to CISCO's web site to look at info on CISCO certification.
 
MCSE - Test time
My record, all test except SQL finish less than 10 min with a 90% + track record.
Two week prep time per exam. I'm MCSE since jan 98 when I was junior in college.
I was eco major w/ pol science and business minor.
