Don't go Comptia Certification Crazy

Want to go crazy?

Go comptia certification crazy, like some people.

This vendor offers many certifications, most of which are entry certs. You do not have to do them all. It is not what they are there for. Do what you need. Forget the rest.

New people in the I.T industry get caught up in this trap. More, is not better. Not when all you are doing are entry certs.

By far the most popular (and useful) certifications are the A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+. If you want to do these four, then go for it. But decide whether the 5th one will add to your career or you are just wasting valuable time.

10 entry certifications doesn't equal 1 Advanced one. They are what they are. They are entry certifications which teach valuable but basic knowledge. Knowledge to get you started, in other words.

Move on from this vendor when you got what you needed out of it. Progress to Microsoft, Cisco, or any other road you decided to steer your career towards.
