Which are the better certification for a career change into IT: MCSE or Cisco CCNA?
Those are two very serious ambitions for someone who has "no IT experience". You want to know which one is most difficult? both of them.

As an MCSE you would be a computer engineer, but with a CCNA you are a Cisco network engineer. If you want the equivelent network engineer for Microsoft then you need the A+.

Going into it for the money, in my opinion is the wrong move, because although network engineers are on good pay right now, things move fast in the IT world, and by the time you're a qualified Tech, chances are that field you specialised in won't be as lucrative.

There is a lot to know. I get the feeling you're thinking, 'oh, techs make good money, I'll be one of them', but would you say the same about a doctor, a surgeon, a lawyer, or a soccer player? It's not going to be as easy I believe you think it's going to be.

However, if that's what you set your mind to, then I'm sure you'll do it. Being an MCSE is a good all round qualification that can get you through the door anywhere, and from there, companies will spend money to train you up to get networks and servers degrees, or whatever else you want to do.

I am an MCP and believe you me, you will only get the work if you're willing to move to where the work is. So, it doesn't just depend on getting the qualification, you have to be prepared to go where the work is, and that will apply to any qualification you get in any field.

Personally, for anyone thinking of a career in IT right now, I would suggest learning Java. Techs are everywhere, programmers are in high demand.

Whatever you decide, good luck.

Nice words, man, but evidently you don't know the italian reality.

For you sons of Uncle Sam, the first values are good job, money and success, wherever they are.

For us "bamboccions", the first value is family.

You'll get the work where the work is, but for us it's quite different: we'll sit and wait until the job opportunities appear in our mum's range.

So let's stop dreaming: this is not America, man...

Esatto, per me lo yankee e' sincero nella sua ingenuita'.

Credo che sia pure ricchione, perche' dal suo tono si denota una sensibilita'... diversa.
