And don’t think you cannot get a job without it either. I had A+ Net+ and MCP XP when I got hired on the netadmin team to be there exchange admin. I got my Exchange cert not long thereafter and 2 more server certs since then. I continue to study and learn and will have my MCSA + messaging soon. On the job training is valuable and will give you even more on your resume once you also have the certs to claim a better job.

You can also learn a ton about networking theory by reading TCP/IP For Dummies as well as perusing (and possibly purchasing) the goodies at Laura Chappell’s site: http://www.packet-level.com
