Not to burst your bubble but I recently passed my CCNA and I still have to make due with working in a call center...
despite sending my cv to all CCNA related jobs...and in actual fact there aint that many...I really would like a
Network related job however it is just not that simple...So my advise is that its a nice cert however dont expect
to much

Yes, I saw your other thread about struggling to find a job. I dare say what will count against me, and probably you as well, is lack of experience. As someone suggested, offer to work for free for a month or two, it will prove to them that you can do the job.

Still, I am going for this certification, come hell or high water.

I have always been interested in networking, and have considered various certifications in the past, but never gone forward with it. Now, I have decided it is time for me to get on with it, and have decided on a Cisco certification, and will do the two CCNA exams separately for reasons that become apparent below. I am not too worried about the salary, as it is a field I would love to work in. What opportunities there are in South Africa once I get the certification, having little practical experience?.

I am working full-time, and am already studying a degree (BInf) through Unisa, My reason for adding this to my work(study?)load, is to improve my employability. I figure a Information Scientist who knows networking, or a Networking Specialist who understands information, should be worth something. I will continue with the degree even if I get employment in the networking field.

Unfortunately my current employment is not related to either of these fields, so would have to use a simulator, glad to see that QEMU is already installed on my system.

From what I have discovered via Google, it seems as if the CBT Nuggets are a good source as well, so will make use of these as well as the various Cisco Press publications

I would ultimately like to specialise in IT Security, again a field I have an interest in learning more about.

Am I insane, or should I continue with the above? :D
