I decided that I am going to take classes at local school for mcsa security . I have been working in the field for the last 3 years , have my undergrad in MIS , just need some certs with my undergrad.

I tried the self study method and for some reason that didn't work as some days work schedule is so hectic. Also I will be paying for my own pocket for these classes which is a big commitment on my part.

I dont think it will be a waste as its a investment in my carrer which will pay off .

If you want a paper cert go to a boot camp. If you want to know what your doing, do self paced training or otj training, something that has equipment you can fiddle around with and do the step by step configuration.

No I am not looking for a paper cert, I also want to learn. By going to classes there is atleast someone there who can answer my questions.

I wasn't sure if thats the right route

if going to classes = hands on work with equipment plus an instructor who can answer them when they pop up, sure, good way to go.

Techrepublic is also a source of answers for self training. Granted many of us tend to ignor the school test questions that sometimes are posted here, but if you are upfront and say I'm trying to learn, can ya explain it to me, most will.
