Secure Your Network
How to become a network security specialist?
Should i go to college or get my certs (CEH, Security +) ? Should i go to a school like UAT that offers a academic program in network security and cost like 70,000 dollars(Way out of budget.) Go to a community college (Already going. Getting my degree in network administration(A.A.S) Or should i just get my certs? Which way is best for getting a job in that field?

- The good thing about computer security is they are always in demand. So to answer your question is Yes yes and yes... CEH or certified ethical hacker is a joke. It is a crap class i have took it. However it still looks decent on a resume. The most prodominant certs to get in the security field is your CCNA and CISSP. These certs alone will get you many network security jobs. But start small with your A+, Network +, Security +, CEH, Certified Penetration Tester, and other white hat certs. The only other thing that will help you out is time under your belt. Get an internship at a local security firm or network secruity office. Anything to put time under your belt. With enough drive you will make it. But start small and work up to CISSP. That is the catch all certification....
