I am currently studying for A+ certification. I guess I am wanting to know if it is worth it and if not what other good ways to get into the field are. I currently consider my knowledge to be advanced, but not good enough to pass the test (though I have never taken it.)
I am currently reading Mike Meyers A + Certification book All-in-one Other than talking about registries so far it is pretty simple and straight forward (about half way through.) It does get into a lot of stuff I never use on my PC like groups. While I am familiar with how the registry works I have bad luck doing registry tweaks in the past and kind of avoid them.
In general I have no problem fixing my computer myself, I also have built it myself and well if it is something I cannot fix most issues I have fixed either using some trial and error or using google.
I guess I am wanting to know if I am working on the best way to get into the field. I am curious if there are other avenues as well. I am not looking for a get rich quick job. I jsut want something that leads to a stable pay vs working minimum wage jobs, and this seems like a good route as I have been fairly good at working on computers.
