Another very common question I hear a lot on the internet is: “How can I get started in networking?” or “What does it take to become a Network Engineer?”
As you may have read in my previous post about getting started in IT – there usually are several ways to achieve this goal.
I’ve seen for-profit schools offer Associate degrees in Network Engineering, promising students lucrative careers in this field once they graduate. These type of programs will usually also include vouchers for various technical Certifications along the way. Sadly, the vast majority of the students in such programs often graduate with only one or two Certifications at best.
