MCSA or MCSE: Which Certification is Right for You?

Choose the MCSE credential if you:
Plan, design, and implement Microsoft Windows server solutions and architectures in medium- to large-sized companies.
Have at least one year of experience implementing and administering network operating systems and desktop operating systems.
Choose the MCSA credential if you:
Implement, manage, and maintain the typically complex computing environment of medium- to large-sized companies.
Have 6–12 months of experience administering client and network operating systems
I get to see loads of folks now (got myself some work as a technical advisor to an IT agency) - & no doubt about it the monkeys trained to MCSA level are even more ape like than the monkeys trained to MCSE level ..

Look at those 'experience' levels - proper 'mickey mouse' now the lot of them are - sadly dumbarses who know nothing about IT at all 'really' will continue to be influenced by what is just yet another revenue stream for M$, they cottoned on to this about 3 years ago & the exams have been getting steadily easier & easier ..

Once upon a time MCSE meant you were automatically gonna get '1st class' candidates - now it means you are gonna get applicants with acne !
