Hi Craig,
CCNA is the entry-level Cisco networing certification. It's a great choice if you're aiming for your first networking job.
It will cost you around $500. Make sure you get the latest books. You will use most of what you learn in the real-world.
If your budget is tight, cut your costs in half by taking the 640-801 intro + icnd combo exam. This route is harder for a newbie.
"Budget Approach": 640-801 exam $125 exam + $35 Sybex book + $30 practice Qs + $20 rack rental = $210
"Comprehensive Approach": 640-811 + 640-821 exam $200 exams + $50 cisco book + $40 practice Qs + $40 rack rental = $330
Your average CCNA makes $70,000 base salary + benefits, but maybe half that if you have zero IT experience and no degree.
Where did that stat come from ?
