starting school for Network systems administrator.
was wondering if anyone had any advice or 101 crash course

Vlans
Subnets
Etc

learn the material prior to starting the class. you don't want to be confused in class and fall behind.

idk what that is



idk what the material is yet. thats why i was asking if anyone knew anything

I just posted what you can start with it.

It's not a week-1 kind of thing. You'll be told which books you're going to work with, as is the case for any educational programme.
The general consensus is, that if you read a certain chapter prior to having a lecture of that chapter, you'll pick up more from it and actually reduce the time required to fully comprehend the subject.

i meant does anyone have any experience in the field? do they enjoy it? is it worth it? etc

Any technical knowledge is good to have. I really don't enjoy the operations side so really depends what you like. Having an understanding of networks is extremely helpful though from a developer/technical perspective.

Networks was by far one of my favorite classes in college and has definitely proven to be valuable to me in the working world.

I think being a network admin by itself would be pretty boring, but if you tied it in with development, cloud and/or devops it can be far more interesting.

I was in college for that but ended up leaving because it wasn't for me. I was doing very well in the course, I just couldn't see myself doing that.
Best of luck mate!

Iv always wanted to get into the IT field. i figure this would be a good start
