  2 million people with this certification
  
  
  
  
  


• 
  
  CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
  
  This one comes in 2nd as most network administrator jobs right now are IP related and they are in more demand at higher
  professional level as compared to Microsoft Certifications

  MCPD (Microsoft Certified Profesional Developer)
  
  This has been a rocket since last year. Demand for these developers are up over 80% compared to last year, and does not seem to be
  slowing down any time soon.There are only a little over 3000 currently with the certification. If you are looking for
  a certification track, I would give this one alot of consideration.

  CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)
  
  One of the elite certifications.With CISSP's earning $94,070 a year on average, it is easy to see why this
  one is on the list. The exam lasts up to six hours,
  and includes 250 multiple choice questions. It is also $500, so you might want to study for this one.
  
  
  



• 
  
  Comptia A+
  
  I figured everyone had this already, but I guess not. This is the first certification almost everyone gets when first
  starting in the I.T field. It is by far the most popular entry level certification.
  
  
  
  


• 
  
  Comptia Network +
  
  Coming in right behind A+. This is usually the 2nd certification that most I.T. Professionals aquire. Which is great
  because Network systems and data communications analysts is ranked Number 2 on the Most in demand jobs list
