Want Job Security? Consider Getting Cisco Certified

From cable to wireless technology, to intranet and extranet and even texting and video conferencing tools, the entire umbrella of commonplace stuff we use to get things done operates under the umbrella of networking technology.

Networking technology is that branch of IT that reigns over the use of wireless connections, like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and equipment like cables (and routers, modems, etc.) to connect various systems and transfer data between them. Most of us wouldn't be anywhere without the interwebs at work — no, seriously imagine what it would be like if you lost connectivity, or couldn't get any of your devices to work. So it should be no surprise that the IT folks who specialize in networking systems are in pretty good shape in terms of job security.

If you want to start learning how to work with networking technology, getting certified in Cisco Networking Systems (one of the world's largest, most powerful networking companies) is a good starting point.
