I want to share some of my recent experiences. I was called for an interview and my recruiter was expecting me to be IT certified.
Unfortunately I lacked it, and I was shown the door.I feel that it is high time that I should get certified. I have some knowledge of HTM,Visual basic and some Java. Can I opt for MCSE or MCSD?
What is your opinion?

Well both these certifications are equally good, but it is you who have to decide which one should you follow. I would suggest that you go through the exam objectives and see at what topics you are at home.Then make your wise choice.

MCSE being aimed at Engineers or Systems Analysts whereas MCSD would be for Developers or Progammers - what do you want to do? Program or Manage/Implement?

Which certification are you planning for? Have you taken any exam?

Your skill set would indicate MCSD or alternatively for Web Development and applications you could try MCAD (Microsoft Certified Applications Developer)

If Java is your strength try the Sun Education site and go for The Java 2 Programming Certificate.

Another thing is what experience do you have?

Send me an email and I will happily put you onto the right track.

It really depends on you what you like most. Don't be dazzled by the amount of salary you get from that job. For me, the most important part of the job is that when you loved doing it.

I graduated from college with a computer science degree because I really love doing something in a computer, might it be software(like typing and programming) or hardware(fixing and setting up new computers).
