Q: All of the schools I have talked to tell me I should get MCSE certification before I start any Cisco certification. My question is do I really need to have MCSE before I begin CCIE certification? Secondly, Will network+ and server+ (comptia) certifcations increase my marketability of CCIE certification?

A: You should start with the CCNA then the CCNP. It takes at least 2-3
years of hands-on Cisco experience to pass the lab. The other
network+ certs won't really make much difference for marketability
since those are considered entry level certs. You don't need to do
your MCSE before starting on Cisco Certs. Don't listen to them on
that. They probably just want you to go to their MCSE school. You
can do all these certs without going to class. Just remember that
without hands-on experience you will be considered entry level
regardless of what certs you get.

It helps to have experience in servers. It DOES NOT help if you only
have the cert. You just won't retain enough to make it worthwhile. I
just had to get an IIS server fixed and it took me about 10 minutes to
get my "server-guy" hat on. But if I only had my IIS cert, it wouldn't
have helped me too much.

In a nutshell, you don't need an MCSE or any other cert for CCIE.
