EXPERT RESPONSE
Dear Adam:
Indeed it is possible to obtain entry-level positions with just A+, Network+, and MCSA, but the pay and conditions for those kinds of jobs might be such as to leave you hungry for more fairly soon. Bumping up to the MSCE and CCNA would also boost the level and pay for the kind of position you might occupy, as would other more senior credentials. But nothing helps pay and lifetime earnings as much as obtaining as many degrees as you can (associate's is good, bachelor's better, master's still better, and PhD the best).
That said, lots of people need income and start working relatively early on in the learning/training/certification sequence and keep learning/training/certifying/earning degrees part-time as they keep working. It's a longer, more difficult road to walk, but one that plenty of feet have trod on before yours.
HTH, and thanks for posting,
