I am coming into the final few weeks of my degree course, and I'm in two minds about which one of these courses to apply for. As I know people only really go down one route or the other due to their layout.

I thoroughly enjoy the implementation of networks and the maintenance, etc. But I'm unsure as what sort of jobs and roles I could get with Cisco qualifications. Network engineers are becoming less and less from what I've heard. I don't know much about contract companies though.

Some of my tutors are Microsoft qualified, and they are advising Microsoft qualifications, but they are more on the administration side of computers, which I enjoy, but not as much as networking. I also hear there is more money in this side?

Any help or advise would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks.
