What all do you do in a help desk position? Do you mostly help people over the phone? Cause Im really a hands-on kind of person.

Network and system admin guys usually start in the help center. Convo with them about it and they talk like it was being on deployment in Afghan. LOL!
Most Security guys that I know go straight to monitoring and Most programmers I know went straight to programming or from the military. My wifes and her cousin(s) job is all military or college grads that were recruited. FAMU, Georgia Southern, (GA and LA Tech), LSU, etc. all over.
As you can tell I know alot of programmers. I know a few network guys from the Navy that works for HP. -

Thanks. I've only had a few refresh projects so far, I haven't been able to get any help desk or desktop support. I hear talkin about how bad they are but I'd lucky if I can get that. Alot of these Help Desk positions I apply for on these job boards want you do have certain amount of experience that I don't even have yet. -

it's been a while since I messed with crystal reports. it's pretty straight forward. I found it easier to program and export things directly to excel though. Excel has come a long way in how it can be used as a database with forms and things. I would say CR just reduces overhead but if you're running MS office and have access to excel ( no pun intended), then CR would be a waste. If not and you need professional reports done, CR is the way to go. It's a good add on to VS.

Good looking out! I have been playing with Excel 2012 everyday getting back in to the flow of things. -

Props to you for keeping it real with dude. Helpdesk is where you'll start my dude. Just about all of us started there. Keep you eyes and ears open and get out ASAP.

look into the CCNA or Network +. CCNA is more popular and more advanced, but only if you want to get into networking. Its really want you want to get into. You will need to research other advanced certifications to get ahead -

you got your MCSA/MCSE...build on that. Look into the MCITP which is the 2008 server ? . i think you only would need to take 1 or 2 exams to update that. Not 100% sure though. Microsoft books are always a good choice -

lol, nah my dude that is what I learned in school, so I'm just stating what I know. I will start with A+ and MCP. Thanks I listed every cert I could, Ctfu.
-
? there's no way in hell they covered MCSE, CCIE, & CISSP in school. Much less the other certs you listed on top of fulfilling the requirements for a degree
-
^^^ they covered the MSCE ? , I didn't get into the CCIE, CISSP. The CCIE and the CISSP are the fields I interested in fam. Just clearing up the confusion.
