    Thank you for the video! Great information. I started as a cable installer 20 years ago. I worked my way into the network field as a field technician and have now been a network engineer for the last 5-6 years. I enjoy the work I do everyday and live seeing how networking changes over time. The flexibility mentioned within an IT department is very possible if you start with networking. One thing I have seen in my career, sysadmins, software developers, and even a lot of security analysts lack basic networking knowledge which would make them better at their work if they had it. Moving between network and cybersecurity is very easy. I think all security analysts should have a networking background first. How can you protect and secure something you do not understand.

    • @FreshTillDeath56
      @FreshTillDeath56 2 роки тому +14

      Hi friend, I just graduated from the University of Maryland, Global Campus last year. A bit of advice, I recommend a cheaper school or some time at community college. Most of this stuff you can learn alone in libraries and online, hence my schooling costs were very very cheap. I have a degree in Computer Networks and Cybersecurity, and I did it debt FREE. Second, focus on a block of classes. What I mean is, the field is VERY broad. Find an idea like Windows Server, Linux, Cisco Routers / Switching and commit to 4 or so classes for that kind of idea. I focused on Windows Server and it has helped me tremendously in my entry-level help desk job. Last tip, get a cert or two. I got a Security+ cert that I'm happy with, and I'm studying for a bunch of Microsoft certifications now. You gotta be prepared to get hungry for certifications in this field. Always gotta learn. Good luck :)

    • @micwag367
      @micwag367 2 роки тому +3

      @NYKE - There are certs and there are college classes for networking. Whatever route you take will be ok. And I said classes to start. Most of all, read. Pick a vendor and search for their switches and routers. I am a cisco person, so I would start with those. NGT made a good point near the end of the video. You can branch off into many different areas with networking. Is there some subject you already know? Maybe security? Read how network security and firewalls work together to protect the network. (An example only)

      The skills for the job have changed, that is all. Name one job that is done exactly the same as it was 15 years ago. No job is like that. Same for netwoking.

      God sent Jesus to be the only way to heaven , Muhammad didn’t even know if he was going to heaven. God bless you.

    Don't do it. Waste of money and you can find all their course work here on UA-cam for free. Their Job placement is a joke and your tests and quizzes aren't even graded. Hiring managers for Google and Amazon told me they hire based on experience, and not certificates. I am currently trying to get my money back, but their refund department is a JOKE. BEWARE
