    A+ and I think I was 22. I did the N+ and the MCDST in short order after that and landed my first IT role. After that, my workplace wasn't interested in certs and so I just didn't do any. My new place is a lot more keen, so I've bagged the 70-410 this year (29 now, shhhh) and hope to have the MCSE: Server Infrastructure by the end of the year (and therefore also the MCSA).

    A+ at 16 for me, closely followed by MCTS Windows 7 Config.

    Can't remember a damn thing after 3 years of doing networks.
