ive been fooling around with puters for about 7 or 8 yrs now and have started doing a little bit of networking for gaming and home networking. im interested in starting a business that specializes in providing tech support for the home and small business users in my local area. i feel like i will probably need some sort of certification just to have credibility with my customers. what do you guys think would be the most practical cert track? a+ looks like a no-brainer, but im wondering if there are other things i should consider. do you think mcse would be necessary in this scenario or would it be a wast of time in a non corporate environment. of course there may be the possibility that doing IT support for the masses has been tried before and failed, id definately appreciate any input in that area as well. thanx in advance for any replys.
