| reply to Keithb Re: what kind of education
Keithb hit it right on the head. If you want to manage it is best to get into the business side of the house. Some places are offering IT management degrees that cover the business side and the IT side. It might be easier to find a college offering more of the business degree however.
EMC_guy also has a point and that is you will probably need some certs to get by. You need to determine which field you like working in... Microsoft or Cisco. There also are certs from Juniper that are very valuable as well seeing that they are gaining marketshare rapidly.
When it comes to certs I feel its like this:
If you want to do servers and desktops go MS.
If you want to work with networks go Cisco or Juniper. -- "No job is so important, and no service is so urgent that we cannot take the time to do it safely." -- AT&T --Safety One Tower Rescue Certified --LLigetfa:"Wimax is like teenage sex. Everyone talks about doing it." |
