I currently work as Network Analyst in a small company. I hold CNE, MCP and CCNA certs.
I just heard of B.S. programs in Network Technlogies. Please give some feedback if it's worth pursuing, as opposed to say getting CCNP/CCIE. If Yes, then what is a good school/online training to attend (in NYC area)?
Any other feedback appreciated.
Thanks

At the end of the 1980s, the IT sector saw a gap of knowledge and had to apply a short-term strategy for the IT industry. So, decide whether you plan to continue on a long-term basis in the IT industry. There is nothing against certification, but itcan only fill in on a short-term basis.

Although I am new to the IT world and working on my B.S. at Vatterott College, that piece of paper can mean a lot. In the past I have seen several people go place who didn't know a thing, the only thing they had was a B.S. Remember that most of the people who run companies or do the hiring are business people not IT people. They have no ideal what certifacation can really mean. They do how ever know what B.S. is. That is the maion reason that I started going for my B.S. since I got my AOS. Besides it looks good hanging on the wall for those who just don't know.
