    If you want to be in networking then Cisco is the gold standard. What materials are you using to study for the CCNA?

    I am currently studying networking and hope to complete my CCNA in June. One thing about networking is that it is not an entry level position. So I would start with Cisco but keep an open mind about what you are learning. You might need to get into a company that does networking but start out in desktop support or some other area.

    Good Luck.

    I'm using Todd's book for my CCENT studies, so far so good. I assume you're going to just take the one exam rather than the two test option?
