Human Anatomy Graduate Switching To Networking.

Human Anatomy Graduate Looking for a change in career.

Hello House, I have always been a ''regular customer'' in this thread without posting, I must confess I've gained a whole lot from this community since the time I got to know about NLand, Kudos to Seun for coming up with something like this.

I graduated from a reputable University recently (June 2009) and still waiting for my NYSC Program. I had a Bachelors Degree in Human Anatomy though I initially applied for Medicine & Surgery. I don't intend going back to the University to study Medicine as it would be a 'royal' waste of time.

I wanna venture into IT since I have passion for it a lot (not venturing into it because people around me are doing it). I have been looking into Networking. I took the NITT scholarship this year and had higher A plus. I was asked to pay a subsidized rate to take CCNA but I was afraid I might not be able to complete it before going for my NYSC Program. I intend going to India to take my CCNA trainings and exams during/ after my service year.

Please I need advice and constructive criticisms to know if I'm doing the right thing or not.

Thanks for your advice in anticipation.

Wonder why no one has responded to this thread yet?
Anyway kommentato I think its brave of you to wanna make that career switch and IT is one field where there has been and almost always will be a shortage of qualified hands globally.

I dont think you need to visit India to train for the CCNA tho',  ahn ahn! save your money for your CCIE exams when ure ready. An even if you can afford it, I think the CCNA is a bit too basic to require that extent of training and prep. Afterall its just one book, one exam.

IMO the best approach to training for and passing the CCNA exam is to try to work in an environment which requires the skills you want to learn - some ISP, multinational org or phone company (the smaller ones might be easier to get in and would still serve the purpose). You know they say experience is the best teacher, that way, self-study with the right materials can only cement what you see and use at work with what you read, all in your head.

I self-studied for my CCNA exam over 30 days while I was doing 'IT' with some small ISP so I think you can do same. Just try fix yourself up somewhere and dont mind the pay as long as your focus is to get some hands-on in preparedness for your exam.
