MCSE isnt where the money is at nowdays.
if you wanna make real money in the IT industry you wanna get cisco qualifications, i.e CCNA CCSP and so on.
The problem is that most people who study Microsoft qualifications have done them via test killers and just learned the answers.
I work for a major IT reseller, and people with these quals arnt earning mega bucks tbh, yeah an ok wage but unless your some high end engineer managing comple cluster servers, sans and exchange servers your gonna struggle to get £30 000 a year.
Get Cisco CCNA and all the other various cisco qualifications and you can earn anything upto £60, 000 a year.
