I had a tentative plan to start studying right away for the CCNET,
hopefully get a job..any job...then continue with CCNA.
Then I was going to attack the Information Security program at Devry:
http://www.devry.edu/keller/programs/information_security/courses.jsp
I spoke with that advisor at Devry again.
I told her my plan, and she thinks I should chuck the CCNET/CCNA and
get started in their info security program right away (of course she
does).
My point was, I can hopefully get a job with the CCNET, and then work
on the security degree while I had a job.
Her point is, just having the fact that I'm pursuing their degree is
great on a resume.
My point was, just being enrolled in a program doesn't mean that you
actually know how to DO the stuff...right? If that were they case, I
could have got an engineering job before getting my engineering
degree.
Anyway, do you have any clue how long I should expect it to take to
get the CCNET if I'm not currently working, and it's my priority?
And does she have any valid point about being enrolled in a program
and thinking that will help get me a job? Unless of course the first
course on the list (an 8-week course) would be enough to get me in the
door somewhere.
Looking for advice, here.
