You've gotta start somewhere, though. I started with A+, Network+, and I-Net+ just to get some (relatively) easy letters after my name.
That was a few years ago, and hopefully the A+ exam in particular has changed. I had been building and repairing computers for years when I took it, but still had to study a fair amount because I found that the exam wasn't quite aligned with the real world. Which I guess can be said of most exams.
