microsoft certification advice needed

Hi everyone

Dont want to tell a story here but still. I m planning a career in IT. I work in proprietary firm as computer engineer(thats wat they call me) from last one year and have acceptable knowledge in hardware and basic networking. I wanted to take my career further and planning to do MCITP certification. Just wanted to know wat you guys think wat should I do. I dont mind any other certification(non microsoft as well)

Thanks in advance.
