any Cisco (CCNA) peeps here?

[AAP]

My unemployed friend is considering going through school to pick up the certs.

Miami College offers 3 classes to prepare you for the thingy. Or the CNA or whatever it is called.

Question - how much does an entry level Jr type Cisco dude make? Is there a bunch of traveling involved?

BWahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahah!

CCNA's can do pretty good, but they really want you to have experience in the field at least. If you're really good with routing and can apply your knowledge, you can do even better.

Travel will be involved. More travel if you do consulting, which pays better. Less travel if you work in house for a company with a large infrastructure, but these generally don't pay as much.

our CCNA's make probably 50K to start. Any they travle a lot at least 50%. But we are a services company.

This is something that they are advertising down at MC. I don't know how legitimate it is. I read it and while nothing is mentioned of $$ required... I would suspect that the boot camp you attend comes with a cost... how else are they making money here?

LMAO @ "My Unemployed Friend"

Two... you don't have any friends. At least IRL.

The assumption that AAP knows a damn thing about computers in the first place is ridiculous. Everyone knows that. Where have you been for the, say... last 6 years?

This is my same friend that just lost his job and was thinking of doing the PC Maintenance thing with all freeware.

My job is in the medical field broly... I don't do that computer shit.

Fuggin fly bitches...

They will make money on the costs of the boot camp, there is no guarantee they will be able to place him, and it will most likely be at the bottom of that pay scale... those are the catches...

If he has experience with PCs etc, he should probably apply for jobs at help desks / support centers... then start training for Cisco stuff or whereever he wants to go from there...

Help Desks can pay upwards of 50k, depending on cost of living... that way he has an income... plus it puts him smack dab in the middle of the field where he can network and people can introduce him to people that would hire him for his new skills...

I can vouch for this.

Look at that ad... can you vouch for that?

He has a choice through the FL Unemployment system to take CCNA or CCNP classes.

Which is better?
