Cost
If you are looking to start a career in IT quickly, your
only option is to take classes. However, there is a big difference between
classes and private training normally found in a local community college. The
CCNA for example, can take 30 days and 18 months private training at a
community college. However, in college you probably would be more qualified for
a job because they simply have more exposure to the various teams and may
simply hope to learn more.
To take off quickly, there is no substitution for private
training classes. The disadvantage is, of course, cost. They are incredibly
expensive and will not be able to work while taking classes. Therefore, it is a
kind of double trouble, you have to pay for classes and have to miss work.
Therefore, the work to remain so lucrative and plentiful. Most people can not
afford to do this so that the technical team is not growing as fast as demand.
The bottom line is that you can not have it both ways. You
have to spend much time or spending much money. No way one is better than
another, you just have to figure out what is best for you before you take the
plunge. Also, keep in mind that any way you go, you are not qualified for anything
beyond an entry level position to the right of the school. You have to get some
experience under your belt before you can move up within an organization or
move on to a better job. Many classes promise a high paying job as soon as
certification, but this is usually not the case if you have no experience.
