Congratulations! Did you get an MSCE "security" or/and "messaging" certificate as well?
The messaging one is a pain in the ass... you really need some practical experience with it to understand it, but it's not too hard. I passed MCSE 2000 as well as 2003 for Messaging and Security. It sure helped me in land a very nice job indeed (i.e. Enterprise Admin in a very big company).
I really suggest you pass the messaging cert as well, it will help you a lot! If you can buy a few gigs of ram for your home PC, setup a little virtual server setup with afew DC's, an Exchange server and stuff... you'll quickly learn the skills to keep things running
Keep going, it will help you a lot!
