Is it practical to get into Networking without a degree?

by conall o'g . Updated 14 years, 2 months ago

As topic, I’m currently finishing off Cisco CCNA Routing & Switching at the moment, hoping to sit my exam in about 2 months or so.

Afterwards I intend to get CCNA Security, and i’l probably sit the CompTIA A+ since I know the vast majority of it already.

however beyond this the path to take isn’t very clear at all.

Would you expect it to be possible to get in the door in some companies with just these, no experience?

What types of courses would you recommend next, if any?

I was thinking of doing something like a Microsoft cert in server administration to go down the IT Administrator route,

(Microsoft Certified Server Administrator
-PREREQ: MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration (70-640)
-PREREQ: MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration (70-642)
Exam 70-646 (PRO): Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator )

Is this a good or a bad idea? any advice would be excellent. If you have done something similar, your experiences would be even better!

ive subbed to this thread via e-mail, can’t wait to hear from you guys.
