Pretty heavy, but good ROI. If you cannot work at a command line, however, 
.. better get some good practice first.

Dime a dozen, .. and not worth more than a dime. DId you ever the 
definition of MCS? Must Call Someone Experienced?

See Kara's comments. Haven't seen a good Linux offering yet, but that's the 
St. Louis market.

Quite frankly, you're better off looking at the job market first, unless 
you think you have enough stamina to go Cisco (it's REALLY heavy duty, 
believe me). An MCSE could, thought I hate to say it, get in IN with some 
companies, but all are going to require equivalent experience (i.e. an MCSE 
is just a piece of paper - it really doesn't mean you can do anything).
