just msce and ccna needed for net. admin.?

I was talking to an IT guy that worked at iti technical while trying to an intern since my school is out for the summer, we talked for a while so i told him i wanted to be a network administrator and he said that the only certs that i really needed was the msce and ccna..how true is that? i know the A+ is pretty much the gold standard for starting out but i didnt think i can skip all the others and go straight to the msce and ccna
