Once you qualify, there are a few good textbooks to practice, such as Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep.
If you can, defo go for it. Any extra credential helps.

yeah you need 4000 hours i think or something like that. Either i take that or ill go with security certs but im getting bored with all of these things... Its okay being a WAN engineer or an enterprise systems administrator but as you grow older (turning 34) its already taxing on you. the sleepless nights, the long hours of deployment and supervising designs etc....
you know what i mean? Some SAs here at FNF are 20 years into the company and they are still SAs. I dont want to be like that. I want to move up into a management position rather than being the grunt all my life you know.
