Is becoming a Computer Network Specialist A good Career?

Q. Are computer network specialist in demand? Will the pay be good? Is it a good career to get into?

A. The term Computer Network Specialist can mean several things. It can mean you work with Cisco products configuring routers and switches and designing and maintaining the network infrastructure. This is a fairly specialized area and requires specific training - Cisco training and certifications are expected.

On a more general level it can mean you just set up a computer network so that users can print and share files over the network. This may require training in specific operating systems and certifications by Microsoft and COMPTIA (like A+ and Network+).

Beginning salaries in IT are going to range from high $30,000 on up - I have given you a link to a salary survey that will show salaries in a number of companies.

As far as what you need to get a job: The Holy Grail for IT employment is a 4 year degree, some industry certs and experience. If you have all three of those you should be good. If you have only one or two elements you may be competing with other people who have two elements or perhaps all three.

How could a computer network be improved to meet new and emrging technologies?
Q. With the new technology being increasing introduced into the field of IT, my question is: How could a computer network be improved to meet new and emerging technologies?

A. Wireless N

Blade storage servers with several terabytes(If you have a small business, not necessary)

1000MPBS Lan Speed (would require semi- high end computers, though)

All the same OS (Vista, XP, etc. Vista and XP together don't communicate very well when it comes to networking)

What kind of jobs can a person with a bachelors in both Computer Networking and Network Security get?

A. You can easily find job there; For that must thing is that you should have enough experience to clear their requirements.

For getting job in computer networking you have to be CCNS or MCSE certified. Try to gain knowledge and then go for it.

How to set up my own computer network?
Q. I have 3 computers at home, all PCs. What is the best and most cost efficient way to connect them to make a computer network? I would like to share data and information between the computers. What equipment such as server, hub will I need to buy?
Thanks for your answer!

A. I would go with what Oscar said, except one minor change;
use a router, not a switch

yes a switch is cheaper, but a router is more secure

with a router, your whole system will have 1 IP on the internet, and a switch each computer will have an IP on the internet. With three computers, you shouldn't have much performance issue with this, and it has some level of security built in.

Also, are the computers in the same room? if not, are you prepaired to have cat 5 wire run through the walls?

a wireless router and cards is the most cost effective in this case.
