could i have a translator please?

my other post disappeared again.

translator = misc crap from IE 6.0.

I went through the same s*** last year man, and asking many people most said the same thing: get an IT degree then get a job with a company that pays for your CNNP, or whatever they call it now. Im not sure if its the best way to go, buts that what i was told.

BTW, is it true that Cisco is now the richest company in the world? remember seeing it somewhere, just cant remember where

yeha, i think it is the richest

yeah, i want to do something like that

whats the cost like?

im doint cisco at my old school now (st peters) and its costing me 500 bucks a semester and the course goes for 2 years with one lesson a week for 3 hrs

is that for your school or can anyone get it at that price?

im thinking of doing that course at comtech, that 6mnth course then finish the degree off while you work in the IT industry.

3 1/2 years to get MCP, MCSE, degree in IT and that A+ tech thing. Not bad considering that 3 of those years counts as experience.

I have a look in the papaer and every add says "you must have.... years experience in...."
and they do finance:P

anyone can get in but u would have to wait till next year for when they start the next course

Cyph, I do hope you meant CCNA :) CCNE is way too uber hardcore, plus you cant do it first up, you need to do CCNA and a few other things first :P

Im not sure when the next one is, but theres an information seminar on saturday, the next ones not untill june or july, so you never know, one might be starting soon

Ooooh, clickable!!

Another, more generalised Cisco Certified Page

k|indred ,could you tell me where i could get more information on that comtech course please?

thanx
-Eds-

Speak to Aeroth on #ausgamers. He's doing a CCNA at ComTech atm.

here?...?
if my html didnt work (probably not)
here it is again

http://education.comtech.com.au/ctes/deakin/deakin.html

You can stream a video at about 512kb showing what its all about.

Theres not too much on the site, have to goto seminar to find out more. Im going this sat, so ill know more about it then i spose.

how did you afford it??

f*** it expensive

Loan! Which Bank? :D

3 grand in 6 months aint that bad for what it is.. Depends how bad you want it. They suggest that you already be working in the industry before (and during) the course, so they prolly assume you have a cash flow and therefore loan approved.

Meh, MC's of the same standard are at least that amount..

ComTech are pretty good for the Cisco certs cuz they actually have f***loads cicso equipment and they do finance with ANZ

well, im going to the seminar on saturday so i will check it all out

umm im pretty sure aeroth is doing a ccna at st peters. he could be doing an msce or something or other at comtech however

dont go near IT its dying u get s*** money and theres about a thousand others thinking thats its worth it

i already have a job, or two

cisco were the biggest company in the world for all of 1 day or so last year. in the last few months hundreds of billions have been wiped of cisco on either the nyse or nasdaq (im not sure which one).
now cisco arent even in the top ten companies in the world (market capitilisation wise)

if you want reliability and opportunity go with the mcse. its not the flashiest degree, it might not be the most c00l or l33t degree. w33n|3 p33n|3 thyber nerds might knock but at the end of the day an mcse gives you the most, and widest, opportunities.
