Anyone /ccna/ or better here? Is it worth it?

I'm in college and I want to get a career in networking shit, will this help me get a job, or is it just a scam and no employers care?

it's fine op. any learning and certification is good. IT certs are a fucking racket as the expectation is that corporations will pay for them, but it's sort of a necessary evil and can possibly pay off real well for you

>>54998398
OP, I can assure you that businesses need networking. Enterprises need networking. Achieving a CCNA is probably better than a college degree IMO

I'm half awake right now but I'm a CCNP/CCDP taking the IE written on Tuesday; conveniently I work for Cisco proper in the US. Ask any questions you want, but here's the brief.

I got my NA, started work for Cisco straight out of college at 60k/yr. Year later I was 120k, 4 months later 150k. I'm a systems engineer and love basically every day of my work. I deal with a lot of dumb and frustrating and politics to be real, but there's a very real air of power to it and when you're good at design people trust you.

I have a BA from a state college, it means roughly nothing other than 'four year degree.'

yea its worth it I would say. I landed a job with no experience and no degree paying 60k /year when I got my CCNA. CCIE now, making around 300k / year doing consulting

What partner?

I couldn't pass it, not being able to skip and go back to questions is quite literally counter to every test taking guide in the history of forever.
I failed on time.

Is there a point is getting the CCNA if you've already gotten your Network+ ?
>>
>>55000608
Yes.
>>
>>54998398
Yeah, when I finished mine the local headhunters came out of the woodworks. I got offers ranging between 32-38k a year, which is admittedly low for this area but it's a far sight better than what a fucking McJob pays.

if i wanted to test a socks chain or mini-tor net, could i just fire up a bunch of small linux virtual machines, load the proxy software on each then test live connections to a mock server from a mock client? i could run the server/client on the host machine and test for leaks using wireshark, but would i run into networking problems? what i mean is would i need real networking like bgp or could i get away with ip address assignment and some basic dns entries?

>N+
>CCNA
The CCNA is way more difficult and sought after than the N+

N+ is entry level networking
