Cisco Engineering CCNA

How old do you have to be to complete a CCNA course? I have a sixteen year old telling me he's nearly completed it.

In a accredited college or school or online course?

CCNA basic is the one you can get at 16... no age limit, just bringing up the patience to learn it

I'm taking Network+ 1 and 2 this summer. I got my A+ at 15.

I'm well over 40. I went to Training Camp in Bushkill, PA in January of 2005 to get my A+ and Net+ in a week. I passed the first two tests, but flunked the OpSys portion by just a few questions. I have never had the time to go back and get it. I understand jobs in the field are damned hard to get anyway, so I'll keep driving a truck and scraping by on $1125 a week, week in and week out...

That depends. In a corporate setting, yes. Most of the work is outsourced to India, so its hard to find a job in the US doing IT work. However my sales manager did consulting after retireing from the corp world (and before working at staples). His going rate was $150 an hour, and when you think about how it takes about two houres minimum to install and setup XP, thats an assload of cash.

India still the 'solution to all your it problems' in the US? In holland they are running back home already as they aren't capable of doing certain specialist programs.
