Three actually.  I'm working on CDIA+ now.  I have a couple of exams for other certs (CAST & CTP) I need to take before the end of the year, but then it is full-blown CDIA+.

what helped you prepare for the HTI+ exam and what kind of jobs on the market do you see out there?

thanks,

A lot of experience helped me prepare for the HTI+.  I was an SME for the exam so I had sort of an unfair advantage.  

As far as jobs, I'm an independent consultant so I can pick and choose the jobs I want to work.  I do a lot of home theater and audio.  a little automation. always computer work.

My best advice would be to grab the exam objectives from the CompTIA site and start working down the list, building your own personal library of resources as you go.
