Which skill should I get?

njlaposky · 06-25-2009, 04:12 PM

B.S. in Electrical Engineering
WAS intern at enterprise. Network, Active Directory, VoIP.
Saw more opportunities than EE.

Got A+ (IT Tech) and then Net+(N10-004) and Sec+(SY0-201) within a week of each other.

Should I CCNA? MCITP?, learn(C#,JAVA,VB,Perl,Sql)?
Schedule a formal education degree?
Go back to work?
Stay in Engineering?

Any better website for advice?

Find a job. You have a degree, and internship and some certs so should be easy if you try. Once you get into work, it will be much easier to decide which path you want to take. There is no correct certification path.

I would start with CCNA then move to CCNA-Wireless and CCNA-Security.

Think about either staying tech and going to CISSP, or moving into IT Security with CISA.

I think you should go to work now....no matter how long you stay in the school, you will not decide which way to go....try to get a job with your knowledge, you will study more thing in the work.
