Computer Networking Career Help?

Hi. I graduated in 2006 from high school, took a year off to explore my options, and since I love being on the computer, I said what the heck, why not make it my living. I live in New Jersey and have visited Pennco Tech in Bristol, PA. I really liked what I heard but the problem is I am a very slow learner, I was in smaller classes in High School and I want to make sure I can learn this. The class will only have 12 kids which is a huge relief but my main concern is that it is only 6 and a half months long. My sisters ex-boyfriend did computers in school (not sure if he did networking like I will) and he took 4 years. How is it that I can learn it all in 6 months compared to 4 years? Also is the demand for jobs high for Computer Networking and troubleshooting? Thanks so much for all of your help.

A 4 year degree is a must.


Do cisco certs side by side.


Pursue your intrests and be flexible and adaptive.


Networking market is very tough nowadays and only get into it if you are seriously passionate about it and willing to go for the long run to become a CCIE maybe.


That's where the bucks are but making bucks is not everything.


Go for it only if you like it with all your heart.

Reply:Computer Networking is tough field Listen inside of heart and go for it if your heart and mind is telling you. Try Local Community Colleges around NJ or NYC. I suggest Cisco Networking or Linux OS and Microsoft Server OS. Report It
