I am a recent graduate from USM. I went through all the courses and did pretty well. Now that I am out in the real world, I find that the education I recieved is about as useful as a dog with no legs. I am thinking about taking some training classes that would develop a knowledge of networks. I am very interested in Database Administration but have little to no experience, unless you consider MS Access experience. I have been advised that an A+ certification would benefit me greatly in learning networks, but I have been reading several articles and believe that I can do it on my own. Someone please advise me on what direction to take. Thanks!
