my husband has these certifications and it has helped him a great deal.  These tests can be hard, but the work pays off. He used to do a lot of architectural drafting, but now that he has these certs, he also does IT with his job. The best advice I can give is to study, take the test and keep taking the test.  That's the best way to get certified - keep testing.

hey, im also doing computer science and information systems. Although networing may not end up being in the main scope of what you end up doing, i would recommend it highly. It is an amazingly helpful subject and it's always good to have that extra bit of experience. good luck!!

first you have to take A+ for hardware cause it will help you when you Begin to take MCSE after that try CCNA

Getting your CCNA is a definite plus for you to list on your resume.  Other associate level certifications help out such as getting Microsoft or CompTIA certified.  Being a Cisco Certified Network Associate shows that you have the established baseline level of knowledge in routing and switching.  Most companies will desire (or require) at least a CCNA for most Network Administrator positions, and then to move up to a Network Engineer or Architect position may require a CCNP (Professional level) or CCIE (Expert level).  It also shows that YOU know CISCO, and Cisco is now a lot more than just routing and switching, as they have products in storage, wireless, optical and voice.  Your CCNA certification is good for 3 years, and you renew it by retesting or by achieving a higher level certification.  So they make sure you stay on top of the technologies to some extent.  To complete your CCNA, basic computer experience is important and it helps if you have a little bit of networking experience (even just a home network) but it's not absolutely necessary. Beyond that, the single best book you can read to cover all of the fundamentals is the Cisco Press books, CCNA Self Study: either "Intro to Cisco" or "Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices".  I put a link below.  Many other books to choose from, but I would start with the Cisco Press book, and maybe just use ONE additional book, like an Exam Cram or Sybex study guide, preferably one that comes with a CDROM and you can generate your own practice tests. When you pass the practice tests with 80% or better, you're ready for the real thing. In addition, make sure to go through Cisco's web site on this as well. I put a link to that also below. Good luck, wise move learning Cisco.

I say go straight for CCNP, if you wait too long you may forget some of the finer points of how to configure a router etc.\n\nThat is unless you are using your certification in the industry already.

Obviously not, as i am one! and cant find  a good job. In the UK there are not many opportunities, but u just gotta keep searching. Be persistent and never give up and someone will give you a chance, its a hard one. Some times i think was it worth while me getting a degree. Then after 6 months i got a temp job within IT so that was my start hopefully this will bring good things. Take every chance you get also try to undertake work experience while your studying will make a difference

None if you live in the US.  If you are India where all the computer jobs are thanks to Bill Gates, then go ahead you'll always be able to find a job there.

Its important that you first decide what type of support you want to provide.  Getting both is not likely to help you unless you are working as the single IT resource for a small company.\n\nAre you interested in networking?  Are you interested in Desktop support?  Are you interested in Databases?  Are you interested in hardware?  \n\nFigure out what you want to do and there are lots of certifications that you can get.\n\nSeek employment with a temp agency and see if you can be exposed to junior level support in all of the above areas and then you can select your career path.\n\nMCSE, (Microsoft Cert) CCNA (Cisco Cert) OCP (Oracle Cert) all are several thousand to attend a course and certify in.  Or you can self study and take the tests only for $100 per test.  Each cert has different requirements that change frequently.

Gosh my man u sound very insecure. as far as i can see, if u have done ur course well without cheating, then i think u have a very very very bright future. for now i understand that the Internet Service Providers and the server markets are the place where linux is used the most. if u are able to work with web servers, mail servers, file servers, dns etc u will be wanted and paid bloody well.\n\nsorry i cant tell u where u can start. and seriously i dont know about india. i would think that india has a very strong software development market. \n\nPerhaps you could try the various ISP's in india. im sure they use linux. i think u do have a great future. especially with that certificate in hand. look4mathekwrom@yahoo.com

I believe you should choose between these two: B.Sc (CS) and Economics (hons)\n\nBecause they both have a future. Other fields do too. But if you really like "money" and study Economics, you will reach great heights.

I have CCNA and CCNP and make 75K+, granted I leveraged very well, but I started at 40K 4 years ago, and that was just as I was finishing the CCNP.

Never base your education on "impressing" someone, base it on what you want to do and then set out to market yourself in that area.\n\nIf economics is not your style, go with what you love. Too many people major in subjects they later chuck for what really interest them in a job. \n\nNetwork with those in GIS, ask questions, take names and numbers, work for someone during the summer and build your reputation. GO FOR IT!

All depends on ur interest... If you are inclined to the IT industry for any reason(money,easeof work,workplace etc..) knidly get into MCA in any decent college...That would solve all your issues... \n\nOther way lets say u do CCNA u would need 2-3 years in the IT industry to launch urself in a good IT firm. Hence go for MCA or MBA whole heartedly (MBA people also have lot of choices)\n\nBut remember do anything but you need to keep urself ahead of a sizeable group ...a bit ahead from the average folks...that would make the difference...

1. Each course is equally payable.\n2. CS, Electronics, Communication, Electrical are the major ones in great demand\n3. NO branch is future secured. Because what you do after your degree is what matters and not what you do IN your degree.\n4. refer pt 2.\n\nI have seen guys with Civil Engg landing a high-pay job in foriegn countries. I know Engg graduates of Computers and Electronics sitting at home even NOW.\n\nSo decide on what you want to do after your degree, which field and then work towards it... \n\nQualification is only a tool, it cannot be the medium for your success.\n\n.:Fishie:.

You'll never get a BSc in a year - not enough time dude. Plus, as has been mentioned the boom market in IT has gone now, I'd consider whether you think your job prospects are good.\n\nDon't get me wrong, there are jobs out there, it just depends how long and hard you're willing to look.

Doesnt matter where the location is, companies still need MSCE's and CCNA's.  I wouldnt stop at those certifications though, continue on with Cisco certifications.
