[QUOTE="polishpatriot, post: 858639, member: 85707"] sysadmin is not a secure position; it takes a lot more than merely knowing a few tricks... one has to be really good at it at the enterprise level... and i don't mean some 50 to 100 person company. i'm talking about Google or Apple level enterprise. One has to be constantly on-top of the technology. cybersecurity is only a thing at the largest companies; one really can't make a career of it at SMB with less than 1000 employees walking away for a position with years of programming experience... i wouldn't do it. it will definitely result in a career regression and significant pay cut. and just a FYI... a CCNA with zero work experience as a network engineer qualifies you for help desk. So if you have the impression that the CCNA is the golden ticket, then you are wrong. You will go from earning $80K as a developer down to $45K with just certs because certs qualify you for one thing - as a trainee. [/QUOTE]
