What is CCNA?

Question

My major is computer science. I am wondering what is CCNA stands for. One of my friend said if I know CCNA, I can get a 100k job easily. I really want to know how can I achieve this degree.

Richard L · Answer

As others have said a CCNA is a valuable certification. You will need a Bachelors degree in a Computer related major.

Your friend has been listening to the salesman at the certification school. You will probably make $35,000 and that will double and perhaps eventually triple over many years. 100K right away will not happen. Go out online and look up salary study for a network technician and you will see that.
