I have first experience in this area so i kinda feel very qualified to answer it.
Ok,
It depends where you are from and what job you want to do at the end up.
To OBonio - i dont think your answer helps tbh and no a degree isnt any better with regards to employers.
Anyway, in the UK you dont get any help with funding for an MCSE so employers will look at this accreditation with more clout than a degree. I'm sorry to say that the degree is slipping in the world of IT as you are mostly taught old technology.
With an MCSE you will be taught the most up to date technology and they now even have an MCSE upgrade for Vista, thats how much ahead they are over universities.
You can do an MCSE at any Microsoft IT Academy and it will cost you �1200 for the whole course. It requires you to sit 7 exams at the end of it.. I've been watching the job market everyday and an MCSE accreditation can get you an IT managers post in upwards of �35,000 p,a
hope that helps

biscuitboy are you in IT or looking to get into IT?
If not then please dont expect to complete the MCSE track and expect to get a high paid job. You may get lucky. Having an MCSE and no experience is what been termed "Paper MCSE".
MCSE and the other certfication tracks provide baselines for employers. Its shows you have sound knowledge of the product or products your certification supports. This is not a substitue for real world experience but an MCSE coupled with experience provides good ��� in the bank
I recommend pauls suggest of the MS IT Academy only if you have already been working with AD, Exchange, Windows Server 2003 etc and have a good understanding. Boot camps are seriously intensive and if your fresh to it all I feel it would be a waste of money

abrnei is absolutely right and i should have mentioned the fact that most employers need an experienced IT person, not all you are taught happens in real life and vice versa.
I'm already in IT working with the NHS so get a low level IT assistant job first then work your way around various roles gaining experience.

Honestly, you are better off getting a degree rather than an MCSE. Of course those with an MCSE are going to big it up.
I have neither a degree nor an MCSE but I have over 10 years experience in IT. I have come across MCSE and degree qualified employees and by far and away degree qualified people have a much broader and better understanding of IT and are much more adaptable when it comes to problem.
