To begin, learn everything you can. Read articles here, on CNET, and on ZDNET. Get some magazines. Look at books in the bookstore. Find out what you truly love about networking. Get old PCs and tinker with them. Build your own network. Build your own PCs. Learn about the things which interest you, and never stop learning.

Administrators just support the network.
Engineers design the network.
Analysts look at the business and decide what type of network needs to be built.

In theory, the analyst would define the requirements for the network to the engineer who would design it and might build it with the administrator who would then support it. You need to start out just building, fixing, and supporting individual PCs. When you get involved with servers and supporting the entire network you are a network administrator.

I hope this helps....
