Their office is in TMR near l'Hippodrome, < 1km from where I used to live. Check there as well is sales is fine with you.

oh? I'm actually starting at Insight next week! Doing west coast sales.

Actually, if anyone knows of any other sales/marketing type jobs in Montreal, let me know.

net+ is one of the easiest cert out there along with A+. It might help you get in futureshop or places like that. But I wouldn't expect making $20 from Network+

Im already in printed circuit industry so the network+ is more of a backup plan. Gonna do the A+ after the network+ and not sure what after that. Any suggestions? I never got a chance to talk to someone who even knew what network+ is.

Man, interesting thing, i was actually debating taking the next few months to go for some security certifications.

Network+, I basically did a quick read of the sybex book or another one and wrote the exam, got like 960/1000...not much value out of it.

Although, the biggest waste of certification money was to do get my M$ certs.....and i dont even use the knowledge as I work in UNIX now :P
In total, i wrote like 9 M$ exams.

The CCNA cert gave me a whole lot more knowledge than network+. However, it expires after 3 years...never bothered renewing it.

I still think that the best IT education you can get is hands on, will to learn on your own, and a univ. degree. The univ. degree will cover a wide range of theory from programming, math, OS structures, distributed systems, networking, security, etc etc.
