How valuable is the Comptia A+ certificate when it comes to getting

>>54980828
I once heard an HR/interviewer here on /g/ say that a CompTIA A+ was basically the equivalent of having 6 months worth of experience. And after that, it basically means nothing.

Might be a good idea if you're trying to get your foot in the door and have nothing to show for it yet.

Just get an entry level job in IT and work at it for a year. That counts as an A+.

should i get A+ first or just get Security Plus?

I've been doing help desk for 1.5 years now (two different jobs, fucking kill me) and yeah A+ I got pretty much all the experience worth. Still I might get an A+ and a Network+, or something like the CCENT/CCNA to give me some kind of fucking edge. Everytime a desktop support job opens up at my job every fucker in the help desk applies for it. Gotta get an edge on those fuckers somehow.

I want to be the one that fucking people jealous angry of "how he got out and I didn't." While at the same time smiling at me and saying "congrats anon I am truly happy for you."

I unloaded a lot

If you have the understanding of A+ and network+, than yeah go for Security+.
