A+ cert is crap and will do absolutely nothing for you.

I have a cert from cisco. Got CCNA and working on CCNP for the past 2 years since i'm becoming really lazy to do the tests needed to get CCNP. To be honest you should be doing microsoft certs instead of A+ cert and Cisco certs. Working in the field, I feel that I work on more microsoft stuff than networking gear as networks tend to stay the same and barely go down when working and don't change much.

I find that having a microsoft certs helps more than all the others, but having a CCNA also helps a bit.
