[QUOTE="GodStang, post: 12773640, member: 11142"] Computer field is so so big. There is the software side writing programs, games, apps and other things like that. Then there is the hardware side setting up servers, setting up networks, running wiring and so on. Then of course there is designing computer parts but that is not really the IT field. There is also the desktop support side and software support. Just depending what you like and what to do. There are thousands of certs and other than the main ones like Cisco and Microsoft depending where you go they may mean nothing. I have become an expert in a program just to go to another company and it be meaningless to them because they use other ones. I am a Security Network Admin in the nuclear field. It is a lot of fun but very stressful since the amount of hacking that has been going on. In the Security field if you get hack there is a huge chance you will lose your job. The bad thing is no matter how good you are there are hackers that are better. With a microsoft cert or cisco cert you can get on a help desk just about anywhere and start learning the way making livable money. Then you can see if that is your thing and move to what you like from there. As said above so many companies are going from Physical servers to Virtual servers using programs like VMWare. Tons of money in that if you are good. One thing to remember is usually in the IT field you are expect to work at any time when there is a problem. on call 24hrs a day. Have to leave your family on Christmas day to go fix a program because someone is at work that does not celebrate Christmas so you have to go help them. [/QUOTE]
