It's very rare to land a mid to high level job as a Network Admin or Network Engineer without any prior IT experience or IT background. Most Network Admin jobs requires 3 to 5 years of experience. You generally start out as a Help Desk Technician before moving up. For Sys Admin guys Desktop Support is generally the next step up from Help Desk before moving into a Jr. Sys Admin role. For larger organizations, everything is moving to the cloud since the traditional Network/Systems Administrator role will soon be obsolete thats evolving into Cloud/Virtualization which you could be working for a 3 party IT cloud company or MPS. Microsoft already retired their industry standard MSCA, MCSE for Windows Server Administrators replaced with Azure Microsoft 365, and Cloud Administrator.

South texas. Like the valley harlingen ..Brownville ?? I want to be a network engineer some day. Its all I can think about. But it's hard finding the right road. Currently on help desk position. Hopefully that would lead me towards my goal.

[DavidPatterson]

A company gave me a position as a IT coordinator with network administration experience but I have some yeats that I have not practice or perfom duties as a network engineer and I am afraid if I can not resolve a network issue due to the knowledge lack, should I accept the position?

[samuelajayi]

[FaLkraydz]

I want to break into cybersecurity, but I know I have to understand about network and system administration first, and cloud, and virtualization, and servers, and OS. The only decision I still don't know is: which way to take first, or... in case I take Network, after my Network+, should I go deep into Network and get a CCNA and CCNP before going to Cybersecurity, should I start learning more about system admins subject like Active Directory and OS, or should I go to Security+ and learn all of those other things I said previously as I go?

[istriver.]

Should I skip comptia A+ and go for network + or will I get an entry level IT job after getting A+? I'm a bsc graduate in computer networking with no relevant experience.

[steverichard]

After Degree in computer networking can I get jobs?

[ghulamsarwar]
