Web Developer vs. CCNA/Network/System

[madz_makatigbas]

---

Regardless if you are a Web Developer or a System/Network Engineer (with or without certification)having a good or higher salary depends on your technical skills plus years of experience and most importantly selling yourself to an employer.

This kind of thread will only make those aspirant study because they want a higher salary.
Work on the things you like and love, not because other told you so.
do what you like, that's the way to success.
Flexibility and security depend on the company or department more so than the role.

In my experience, you'll be much happier in the long run if you get started in the career that you enjoy. You'll constantly be gaining experience in something that you want to continue and will therefore more easily stay in that field. Starting in something that you don't entirely enjoy may make transition to a different field a little tougher. Note, it won't be impossible, but maybe slightly harder as the more experienced you are, the more employers look for experience in the field in which you are applying. Certainly there can be some overlap that provides transitional skills.

However, you may be in a situation where you cannot afford to prolong your search for that "perfect" job and must take something sooner for financial or other reasons. There's no harm in that - we must do what we need to survive. Don't lose sight of your goals, however. Continue to work in your field(s) of interest through self-study and volunteering for assignments when possible, even if that means "overtime" for you. In the end, you'll be the more experienced person and your peers will recognize your drive and teamwork.

Higher Salary... it will not come overnight like a lottery!


IMHO

Nosebleed ko bro pero sakto kaayo ka. Sa karon nag soul searching pa ang kasagaran parehas nq kay wa pay klaro og unsa na career jd ang bagay sa ila og asa sila malipay

[karloreborn]

Ga skwela ka karon bro or self study lang?

If self study ka kay adto sa w3schools.com and start og kat.on HTML -> CSS -> Javascript -> PHP

sunda lang na bro, makatabang pod ang youtube.com para sa tutorials.

Nag self-study rako bro, interested ko sa web kay demand man gud hehe.
Salamat sa tips bro, I'll follow that track.

Let's say nakahibaw nako ana na mga technologies bro, possible ba makakita ko ug client in freelancing?

TIA!

Depende na bro og nay mo sugot na client if adto ka sa sites like odesk.com pero mas maayo og mag work sa ka for experience lang, pde ra ka mo try sa mga companies like webXpress and smart Traffic as a stepping stone sa imong career. Pero suggest sa ako mga kauban kay dapat pod mag.practice ka buhat og basic website functions like how to login and to register.

Thanks for the advice bro.
Actually I'm working as a Tech Supp, more on hardware/network and besides, thats what I really love to do. But aside from that, interested pud ko mag web dev, because someday if kahibaw nako, pwede siya pang dagdag kita .

what do you think?

...ako kay Network/Systems man jud akong path, pero i would suggest in terms sa offer, mas dako ug offer ang mga Developer and then maka-sideline pa jud ka. Ang difference lang kay labad sa ulo ang Developer dili ka maka-tulog jud ang maghayang tungod sa mga bugs kung unsa-on nimo esp. kung naa kay timeline na gi-follow and then, naka-bayad pa jud partial ang imo client. Lisod jud kaaU, mataranta ka dili ka mahimutang. in short Labad ang Developer mao worth sa na sa ila kung mas dako ang ilang income kay sa sa amo.

...i tell you, diha nko gikan sa as Dev. ni laylo ko kay labad kaaU. Daghan nako ug na-achieve noon na mga System pero dili nko ganahan mo balik kay mahadlok ko nga ma-opaw.. hehehe. motoo ka ug sa dili, mukita ko sa isa ka project ug php200K-php235K max ato nga time, from static application into dynamic application such as web-based application. 6 yrs Dev 12yrs sa Net/Sys Admin sa SG.

Hi istoryans,

Ask lang unta ko og asa nndot e.shift og career? Web Developer ba or CCNA/Network/System in terms to salary and competition?

Gikan ko og pagka Technical Support Rep.

salamat.
