It seems everyone here appears to be in the field of work Im wanting to go in.
Going to ask for some advice here:
Right, so Im 18, I dont know sh*t about building/managing servers or anything to that professional level - But Im good with computers and pick things with them up easily (plus common sense - Its surprising how much a bit of common sense helps with computers it seems!)
Im starting a foundation degree in computing and networking at college in 2 weeks which Im lead to believe is CISCO based. I do 2 years there, then one year at Sunderland Uni to top it up.
What kind of work could I go into after these 3 years? And where is a good place to start/go from there? Any qualifications/courses I should look for after that?
Any tips career-wise, etc. that you lot have learned or mistakes you have made along the way?
Network adminy jobs... Skip uni, do experience and go for certs.
Developer, or research/sciency roles like my one... Go to uni, get on a graduate scheme for IBM or HP or LogicaCMG
and get in that way.
