a) It is the first time he's said WHY he's getting his MCSE. Which was MooseMan's point.
b) I've been in IT for 12 years now, make very good money and have NEVER had my MCSE. *shrug* So yes, there are other ways to do it. In fact, I don't even have a college degree. It's called, if you're GOOD at it, IT will treat you well. If you get a piece of paper but suck, it won't. There are plenty of jobless MCSE's out there because people are realizing that it's more or less a useless cert. It's far easier to get than many (just costs money). If the job you want requires you to have your MCSE, it's probably NOT that good of a job and probably won't do much to get you any further than that particular job. I think a few of us here are trying to give you some insight into the IT world in which we live and work, but whatever you want bro. Also, how can you have a "strong understanding of the subject matter" of Microsoft operating systems and networking, but not be able to figure out on your own what parts to get to put together a PC? Frankly, it sounds like you're one of the guys I interview every so often that THINKS they know far more than they really do. An MCSE won't fix that for you.
Oh, and asshole is one word, not two...
