| I have some experience in networking and in some going visual basic
programming and am wondering which route may be a good way to go as far as
certifications. I am get mixed reports here about no future for IT jobs and
the like. Maybe programming is the answer?
thanks

| Programming is more dynamic, meaning you can go in a number of different
directions, but hardware / networking will get your foot in the door of more
places. Currently I'm an access VB programmer, working on my MCSE. I think
there will be a lot more demand for a 1 man IT department then there will be
on or the other,...but what do I know. 
This is of course, only my opinion.

| If you want an exciting job, get into programming. analytics is the way to
go. being a network guy can often get plain boring. ive been contracting in
both (programming: java/c/c++; networking:cisco,windows, unix). Im now going
to concentrate on getting more programming contracts.
comparing a programmer to a network guy is like comparing a mathematician to
a gardener. both are artistic endovours. however the mathematician required
vastly more analytical skill. the network guy prefers routine.

Must depend on the person since I find network stuff much more
interesting than programming.

Yeah, "routine" in a network job means that the network is up, the
users are happy, and your boss is happy. Of course we prefer routine!
It gives us free time to work on projects and education.

There are more programming jobs now but programming is easier to
outsource to India.
Which one do you like better? Networking or programming?

well if you just want to get x2 then the ordinary salary, get MCSE.
but if you want to screw your head by analytics and everything,
MCSD..being a MCSD you could get more money,but its 10x harder then
MCSE dont say you didnt hear so
