There are more than a few people out there that will look down on you for your efforts - ignore them. "The people who want you to give up are jealous because you're better than them. The people who are already better than you don't care about you because you're not as good as them." Q On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 4:52 AM, David Swafford <david () davidswafford com>wrote:
Scott's point is very true! Motivation will help you go very far, much farther than certs/knowledge alone. As a soon to be college-grad, be ready for the initial disappointment, :-), even though you'll have your CCNP, you have no real experience, so you'll start at the entry level. That's not a bad thing, but you might see it as such. The reason it is good, is that while at the entry level (networking that is, I'm not talking about a helpdesk), you'll get to touch and interact with a lot of different things with very little "total" responsibility.
