Entry Level Certifications to Pursue

[StTommyBoy]

Hey everyone,

I just recently finished my Associates Degree in IT and am about to start the process of going after certifications. I would appreciate your opinions/ideas on the best certifications to pursue first. My idea is to get a certification or two under my belt to get into the industry. Ideally, I'm looking to get into a help desk/support role initially and then move into something else, like Healthcare IT, etc.

Thanks!

CompTIA A+ and Net+ are solid starts. From there I would get a Windows 7 certification. From there either go the networking route with the CCNA or server route with a Serve 2008 R2 certification.
