I see, I think you said "got" when you meant "get". Thanks for the clarification and good luck on ICND next month!

I'm 21 now and passed my CCNA a few weeks back. Hopefully I'll be obtaining either the CCNP or CCSP when I'm 22 :]
Get CCNP first dont jump to the CCSP before passing the CCNP you cant be troubeshooting a ospf in a pix if you got no idea how ospf works just to give you an example

I took my CCNA when I was 19. I got a 637 on the test. lol I only read the sybex book (great for basics... TERRIBLE for the test) and basically taught my college class. Thought I was good to go... -

dude!! i got my A+ and Network+ last year at age of 28. where do you put me if getting A+ at 21 is a little late. lol
Most of the people i went to tech school at Georgetown University were around my age, and some older.
I have heard that its never too late to learn something, but in my case of learning how to rollerskate when my GF took me to the Roller skating ring, i admit thats too late for me now...i was crawling on the floor while others were skating around me..and this lady came and said "Sir, you have to keep moving!"
how am i suppose to keep moving if i keep falling..my GF tried to hold me but i am heavier than her, so we both fell to the floor..it was the second most embarassing moment in my life ..you dont want to hear my MOST embarassing moment in my life..i will just keep it to myself...hehe"If you want to kick the tiger in his ass, you'd better have a plan for dealing with his teeth." -

I was 28 when I got my A+ in 1996. This past year, I earned my 70-290, 70-270, and Network+. I am hoping to have my MCSA before my birthday.There are only 10 types of people in this world - People who understand binary and people who do not. -

A+ at the tender young age of 25. I should've started this much earlier (say 19 or so)
. I've pretty much grown-up with computers and I've worked (in a professional sense) with them since I was 19. -

I roughly calculated the average over the first 68 responses and it seems people get their first IT cert around the age of 25. -
