I know the figures seemed a little lower than I expected... but the market
had to flatten-out. When I took my ICRC classes in late 99/ early 2000,
companies were hiring people out of the class in the 50's (just like the
early MCSE guys experienced). It was crazy, but it happened none the less.
I think we're seeing effects of a larger # of paper certifications
(non-technical test takers) & growing #'s of certified people. I've always
made above scale (can't always explain why :-) but I think it's more
personal now-a-days... you cannot hide behind that little Cisco card. You
gotta have the can-do, not dress like your in gym class, & know your
business (no more of this learning @ the install site or taking too long to
configure something because you're not prepared... because you stayed up to
watch the hockey game last night ;-)
If your new & still working on your CCNA- this is the best move you could
ever make !!! I can think of no brighter spot than in the network field.
It's just a lot of us guys who had a free ride ("me" for almost a year)
because we were first.
Enjoy the weekend everyone
I gotta go study for that last NP exam
