In response to SOC…………..
1. Start with the basics. Most entry level positions I see want you to be A+ certified.
Network+ if you want to get into networking. Something to get your foot in the door.
2. I did and would start with Comptia.— A+ definately —Network+ if you want to go into networking. Server+ if you are looking at MCSA or MCSE down the road. Security + if that interest you.
CCNA if you want to work with routers and switches in a large Corp or an ISP.
3. Depends on what job you want to be working at 1 -3 years down the road. I did A+ & Network+ from Mike Meyers books, CBT Nuggets videos and experience. I also completed the Cisco Network Academy program at a local community college but don’t have any real world experience with CISCO equipment, so I am not ready to attempt the CCNA exam quite yet.
4. Depends on how much time you can put into it. Read about the certs you are interested in and what they recommend for experience before taking the exam.
