Yea, what do you do now?  I am going to school for Electrical Engineering but thought that this might be a good certification to put on my resume.  I want to get into the hardware development side of things so I figured I could do some computer technician work to finish out my last year or so of school to build a decent starting ground for my career.

I do online marketing and  advertising now.

A+ is a good thing to pad your resume with or use to get a start in a computer shop or even something like Best Buy geek squad. Plus it isn't too expensive to get. Back in my day it was all about MCSE certification if you wanted the big bucks. A+ was good but more for your $15/hour tech jobs. I got 2 of the 7 MCSE certificates and called it a day...IT just wasn't my thing. 

Dunno if MCSE still matters as much as it did back then, or if Apples genious bar certification is the way to go now. :P

Yea, the MCSE certifications are still pretty big.  The A+ exam counts towards credits for certain ones now because you need a certain amount of work hours to be certified.
