Well i've been thinking for a long time of getting off my ass and going back to school. Fresh outa high school i got my MCSE for NT4 and that was fun (and a waste of time and money). I learned quickly that being fresh out of highschool with no experince and a cert doesn't bring much. But now i've got almost 3 years experince as a lead technician/systems engineer/minor network management.
Er anyhow the university here www.sou.edu has implimented a security/data assurance program as part of their CS line. I've always wanted to be a network engineer/systems engineer, but i don't know where to look for jobs really. All i ever find is admin positions that require programing experince and what not. Of course this is mostly monster.com and other online places. But what kind of work do you guys do? I love networking and hardware in general but i just don't really know what to look for in a job. Of course i'll have 4 years of school to deal with first but i'm looking forward to that. I just always get kind of confused and depressed when i actually look for jobs related in the field.
Perhaps some insight from the guys who actually work in the positions i desire would be helpfull hehe
