Doesn't work like that .
You finish your course, get work - usually a lot lower position than you seem to be expecting - then you work your way up - as you gain experience .

1387472 2014-11-02 23:11:00 Can't go wrong with the Cisco (CCNA...) route. If you understand all the concepts to successfully obtain a CCNA qualification you'll be headed in the right direction for a Network Engineer some day. WarNox (8772)
1387473 2014-11-03 01:35:00 For everyone following an IT career, especially in little NZ, breadth of knowledge is always better than specialization. Stay wide - specialize later in life. For networking, also consider Security engineering. Also consider basic platform knowledge - Windows, Linux, etc. ITIL qualifications also useful for the operational side. Breadth before depth. The CCNA suggestion also a good one. ledzep (1441)
