Question for the extremely computer literate out there

[fencerm2]

I have been playing with computers a long time now.  I am considering, in order to branch out, taking some courses and getting certifications.  

So...COMPTIA A+ certification - do I want/need this to get into servicing systems and such?

Do the jobs you'd like to get require or recommend it? If so, it's probably a good idea, especially if you don't have a professional reference who can vouch for your abilities in the things that cert covers.
