Which MCSE elective looks better to employers??

I just got my MCSA on 2003 last week. I'm now studying the required 4 more exams to get my full MCSE title on Windows 2003. I'm looking for people's opinions on which would be a safer bet with regards to what employers are looking for...so for my elective should I do the Exchange 2003 exam to get the MCSE on Messaging or either of the two Security related exams either the 70-298 or 70-299?

What are peoples thoughts and opinions??

thanks

Owen

That really depends on what type of job you're going after. Corporate IT departments have specialty areas (i.e. exchange administrators, database administrators, or security compliance admins.)

If I were you, I would take the Exchange exam and get the Security+ cert. That way, you'll show proficiency in both areas.

Just my 2 cents.

Good luck my friend.
