Be aware that the value of any certification can be suspect at best, in my 
opinion.  I spent a lot of time, money, and energy becoming a credible 
MCSE, and I haven't yet gotten a single interview with it, even though 
I've been a full MCSE since April, 2001 (and out of work in the computer 
industry since February, 2001).

The days of an MCSE getting to fill in the value spot on a blank check are 
long gone.
