Cant decide.networking or website designer?

networking and website design are VERY different and require very dift skill sets.

networking requires knowledge of the basics plus telcom, such as voip, and the hardware devices, security.. The salaries are held down by the perception of the network guy as a glorified PC guy and many clueless PC people thinking they automatically know networking. (takes more study, skills).

On the other hand everybody thinks they can do websites. Including many clueless or rip off artists. You do need some real skills here also to do anything more than rudimentary contact sites. Most corporate websites involve reading database files to display on the website with items like .net asp, cold fusion, ajax, etc. You need to know where to buy already made sw (e.g. e-biz suites) and where to write your own.

And can't hurt to have some of those same networking skills for m$ web server or apache if you are doing web sites.

Web site generators are big now, such as iron speed. Things like gizmox or ruby are hot also.

So you need to be a programmer unless you specialize in tools like dreamweaver. or graphics pgmg like flash, ...

You could try looking at job ads for keywords and associated skills requested, and salaries.

there is also the shared content websites like sharepoint and the big web packages - bea, ibm.. and web interfaces associated with them, developing applets or abap in sap, or pgms in oracle.
