Thanks, guys.

I am taking these as basic certifications to be used as qualifications for certain jobs. I'm just going to get my feet wet soon and certain places want that basic A+ cert on your resume.

In the future, I would love to get some serious training, but for now, I'm not planning on going in-depth with 4-week-long, $5000 courses. Hell, I just finished college!

Thanks for the tips, everyone. Unfortunately, I don't know what this OSI stuff is that you're talking about, so I think the Net+ course might be good since I need to learn about that.

So, I have the choice of 2 weeks without income from my summer job, or order that tutorial software and information and do that in my spare time. I'll probably go with the latter. Sound good to you?

Thanks, everyone!
