Hey all. I have a few questions for the Network Managers out there. I'm completely new to networking, but I've been behind a computer (Internet Marketing and Web Development) for around 4 years. I'm wanting a real career where I can get out in the world a bit more, so I looked at Network Management. I'm wanting to go to school (US) to learn it. I'm originally from the UK (my Wife is from the US) so I'm still learning about the US school system. I REALLY want to, but I can't put in that much time right now (maybe at a later date) so I was thinking about getting an Associates Degree (2 years) in Network Management from a local Community College. My questions are: 1. Will that be enough to get me a job in the field? (even a low end job) 2. How much can I expect to be paid with an AS qualification? 3. Is a Bachelors Degree necessary for a role in Network Management? 4. Is there any other advice that you can give me that you think I might need to know? Thank you all so much for your time. I really appreciate it.

Thanks vikpaw. I'll post it in the US section.

Hi Alex. Thanks for your input. I'm not really looking at being employed at a school necessarily. Just wanting to know the best plan of action for schooling.

Hey all. Just joined the forums today. I'm an Internet Marketer looking to learn a bit about computer networks (I promise I'm not going to spam the forum like some IM'ers do).
