?I am a University graduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering. I have total of 13 yrs of IT ??experience. I did my CNE in 1995 and have been upgrading since that time till now. I did MCP in NT ??in 2000. I have been working as Systems Engineer mainly in the field of Novell NetWare. I rarely ??worked on NT or 2000. I have never worked in any other platform. I am 35 and now I am planning to ??move ahead to excel in the field of IT. I am confused as how to start with. I have been researching ??about different career options and I concluded that I could be in one of the four career tracks. Firstly to ??go ahead as a Systems Engineer by persuing certifications in Microsoft, Linux and Unix. Second option ??as an IT Consultant, but I don’t know much about this career track. Third option I feel is to jump to ??Oracle DBA then become DB Analyst. Finally the fourth option as an IT Manger which I am neither ??happy nor confident. Pls. advice, which track will be more suitable as a Senior Position based on my ??past track. Although currently I have a good job, but I feel unhappy when I see youngsters doing the ??same work as I do who are not even having Engineering degree. I am not enjoying the current job. I ??want to be away from the youngster crowd at the same time I want to be in a senior level position.? How about Network Management, Network security etc. Please advice if any hot career tracks have apportunities.
