I want to be a network engineer, but which course do you think is better for me IT, ICT, or electrical engineering? Would be very nice if anyone could advise me
Well since a started to work in Internet company I got really interesting in learning everything about networking, for this reason I want to have a deep knowledge in network field. Currently I'm working as helpdesk technician and supporting some clients when don't have internet. Regarding from Brazil 🇧🇷
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.
I've just been hired as a network technician straight out of uni, and I'm convinced I'm stupid now, so much I haven't learn in university it's mind boggling some of the new things I'm looking at, constantly going "what the fuck is that? what the fuck is this? where the fuck is that?", oh well I'll get there!
That's because college doesn't necessarily teach or prepare you for real life scenarios in the work force. Many times the courses are behind and dated since technology changes so fast.
my son is interested in learning possible career paths that align with his goals so I am sending him this! It sounds a lot like what I think he would like in a job :)
@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)
How well does courses such as Networking actually prepare you for this career? When one looks at these beautiful animated videos of what the job looks like gets people excited . In reality I'm sure is alot more different and challenging.
Great video! I did the assessment test last month and after that I got an email saying that a member will reach out to me next month but I haven’t get any other email, I hope I made it to get into the program!
Thanks for the informational video. I've been a gamer since very young, and I've dabbled in fine-tuning my internet connection through networking. I'd really like to explore the field more as it's a lot of fun! What courses do you think I should take in college for this career path?
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 :)
Literally about to graduate with an AS in net admin. Still hasn't sunk in. I'm currently working for one of the largest ISP's in the country in the construction and engineering side with the hopes of transitioning to network end .
I want to be a guy who fixes computer problems for people at a company while being repulsed by people and look down on them for not knowing as much about computers as i do. How do I become one of those?
Thank for such a video explaining about this career option. I am currently trying to figure out what can I approach as a career option and listing them and cancelling them out after getting an overlook of the aspects of that career and the fact if I really have interest in it and can do it. So thanks, I really appreciate it.
@@Denzilrulez nah mate still didn't figured out, but whatever it will be, it will be close to the digital stuff, that I am sure about. I'm currently in 12th grade as of Indian education system so, will have to make a choice quick. And most probably this one only😄
You might be the hero for a day. But the ‘problem guy’ rest of the month. But it’s a journey of experience and exploring new things. If you into it. Lifelong learning.
@NextGenT i don't have a degree in any IT related program. I am currently reading networking on cisco. Can i become a network engineer with cisco's certification?
Good Video, it explains it very well how learning this field has benefits, but also many challenges. There are many subfields to choose from if you want a change in doing something different or any other reason, and that's awesome. Keep it up, these videos have good information.
A CCNA will get your foot in the door as an entry level helpdesk or network/IT support technician. You cannot expect to get a 100k job with just a CCNA
I'm currently studying Diploma In Information Technology specializing in Networking in South Africa..Will I be ablt to work on ther countries after graduating?
I don't know much information about the field but talking about the cons is it true that the company can call you at any time out work times in case of a network down or some problems with servers... ? It is like you cut off the electricity from the company they can not work without a network so you should be there to solve the problem right?
I believe that the company will have 3 different shifts to work on any network situation. Otherwise, I bet that the compensation would be consider in case the overtime work is needed. Some big techs like Amazon, Facebooks, Netflix... will have teams of networking engineers working around the clocks to troubleshoot and fix the issues for their networks.
I’m planning on going to community college to study cybersecurity. Should I further my career and get a bachelors or should I go for certs and experience?
Hi I recently finished my degree in it with security and networking focus, a+, ccna completed. Have help desk experience, Nd networking experience. I'm applying to jobs for network engineering. Any advice on applying because a lot of these jobs seem like they require someone with 5+ years managing enterprise networks. How do I get my foot in the door if these jobs are requiring so much hands on experience? Any specific job titles I should be searching for? I feel like I have the knowledge and ability just kind of stuck lookin for the jobs and I dont want to do any more help desk stuff that's why I did the schooling and certifications.
i'm a frontend dev doing network engineering for crypto company lol. i dont' work with datacenters tho, although i want to build pi servers for remote areas
No training or knowledge is frowned on. Use that GI bill to the fullest and take the classes. In all my years, I have never heard of anyone saying to get out because you came from ECPI or something. IF you get the knowledge, it will open the door for you.
How about if you are in a position that doesn't have Cisco equipment, is it worth still getting certified for something your company don't support? I'm comfortable where I am, still wondering if I should pursue this certification. I think its good cert to have, I feel like a foot in and foot our, just need guidance.
@@kalMHe I have forwarded your note. Please understand our admissions gets a high volume. I'm sure it is a misunderstanding and someone will be in touch. Apologies for the delay in any communication you are experiencing.
Is this a dying career? I googled it and I saw something about that and now I'm paranoid. I initially wanted to get into software engineering but idk, I think I wanna go into a different tech field
Please reply to this myth...NOW THE DAYS 50 % networking jobs move to cloud computing...then what will be the future to Cisco physical networking devices engineer..???
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.
Guys I'm studying a bachelor of science in information technology in security and network engineering is this a good degree or am a wasting me time please help
Don't do it. Waste of money and you can find all their course work here on RUclips 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
What reason do you have for becoming a Network Engineer? Leave a comment below!
Awesome! Good luck Ken!

"It's has a balance working with technical things and people." This is nice.
This is my dream ! I'm working hard to make it real !
Keep at it!
What is mean by networking engineering
same good luck!!
Keep working at it. Things can change quickly for you when you put the work in. 5 years strong as Network Engineer myself.
Good luck to you!

getting ccna is more validate than going college
What course you did in uni? And on what subjects did you get admission
Damn bro… i dont know shit myself but i think learning personally from a pro is the best route i was told not to ho to school for IT shit
You're NOT stupid! Learning is a continuous process. Learn something new, even daily!
That's because college doesn't necessarily teach or prepare you for real life scenarios in the work force. Many times the courses are behind and dated since technology changes so fast.
Stay humble. It's a title not an identity. My technical proficiency gets me the work and my soft skills keep me employed.

Thank youuu sooo much l'll do network engineering next year ❤🎉
Salary of US $ 6 digits turns into 8 digits in Indian Rupees. And still it's a dream for many network engineers like me.
Can you pls tell me the future scope of this network engineering.
