I am a newbie and trying to break into the networking field. I plan to give my CCNA and MCSA certification late this year or early next year. I am very interested in networking and plan to pursue my career in this field. However I have some questions:
I am interested in Administrator (type) jobs which have to deal with networking. What is the right approach that I have to take/follow to land in these kind of jobs ?
What are the issues/tasks/challenges do people in these jobs encouter every day?
Apart from having sound knowledge in networking, what other areas do I have to be strong in ?
What are the different job positions do people in this field suitable for ?
Is it really necessary give the MCSA/MCSE exams to get a job in this field ?
Compared to other IT jobs (Java, .Net, etc) how frequent are openings in these jobs ?
Appreciate your help in guiding my career path
thanks
