Hi where do I start to become a network administrator? I saw you tube videos on this career and it looks great to me. Something that I would love to do for a living. Where do I start? Do i need a college degree or just certificates? Any advice would be great, thanks!

1. Look up job descriptions of Network Administrators on indeed or any job site
2. Look in the Qualifications section of those jobs you find
3. Get those Qualifications
4. Get the job
(extra hint: You don't even need all the qualifications listed to get the job most of the time!) -

If possible, try to find someone that is currently in networking to mentor you. They might appreciate the extra help and you will learn something! Good luck! -

What is your background (work experience, education, etc)?
Pick up a Network+ book and see how well you grasp the material.Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS -
