Should I take the Network +, then the CCNA? Or should I just skip Network + altogether?

fasho. I'm still going to skim over my Network+ All in One book to maintain a basic knowledge of networking fundamentals. I have a good understanding of the OSI model, TCP/IP protocol and am finally getting the hang of subnetting (really easy concept once you understand). It's been a while since I have been to this thread, but do you have your CCNA? How long did it take for you to prepare and what tools helped you along the way?

King I am still waiting for them ioses.
Whaddup peoplez. I've stopped putting in apps for a moment to start looking into networking with people outside my city, looking towards the Philly/Camden County area. Looking into that meetup.com site, see what progress I make with it. Currently still working on my SQL Server training course and now looking into MongoDb certification training. As well as check in on webinars, online tutorials, etc. I gotta start talking to other people around that area to see how they are finding these opportunities.
Here's what I have from my resumehttps://www.dropbox.com/s/92w6bjs6lvdwavw/IT ResumeSAMPLE.docx

Ok, as soon as the tax refund gets here, it's test time. How do I know what's going to be on the test?

Thanks bruh I taught you done forgot about me.
It's not official yet, but it looks like I got two gigs going at the same damn time (one is remote). Both paying $60/hr. After taxes, I should be looking at ~12-13k/mo
Most of it's security shit; Checkpoint, F5 Big IP, Citrix Netscaler, FIM, Oracle IdM, ISE, Tripwire, Bluecoat, MS TMG, and brushing up on AD migration tools. I lost a couple projects during the phone screen because my skills weren't all the way there, and that shit hurt. A couple were remote gigs too. There was a remote one with AT&T that required a CCIE that was paying $100/hr. My goal is in the next 2 or so years to be able to have 2 remote and one contract jobs paying around 250-300/hr combined. Do that shit for a good 6 months and just stack paper heavy.

CCNA really ain't shit fam. On the real the CCNP Security ain't shit either. It's the type of experience you have that'll determine whether or not someone will hire you to put your CCNA knowledge to use. A CCNA with 10 years of strong networking experience can make bank. A CCNA with on real networking experience probably won't get a job above a Jr. network support cat, and they probably own't even let you hop on them routers and switches making 15-25/hr depending on the job employer.

that's true. you may need to bite the bullet and go in and maybe make 40k a year but the purpose of that is to get experience. get real world experience and work on your CCNP or CCIE so by the time you get those, tell your boss to kiss your ass and make more money. even if you're only at a job 6 months. Every job i get i try to make it so that they wont be able to pay me enough to keep me.

@longmeat Hmmm, I thought security paid well. So which CCNP path is better? Voice, Routing & Switching, or Security? Basically what pays the most?
