[lug] another addition to the "Getting started" discussion

[David L. Willson]

How did I let this message get by?

Ash, come to the BLUG meeting this Thurday night. There will be discussion of this very topic.

My opinion is that goal-based training is rarely a waste and that certifications are among the most practical of goals.

Good Morning! 


I am "not in the pool yet:" but have gotten my feet wet. I have met most of the prereqs, still a few suggestions from you all to follow. I might become redundant in my current position, so I'm looking for a way to jump into the IT pool head first. 
As an introductory IT professional, are comptia certifications a good way of getting in the door? I'm looking at getting the A+, server+ and Linux+ in addition to the ACMT from Apple. Is this money wasted?
