Planning for the future
|

| Good people of the Forum,
I am planning my certification track(s) for the next 12 months and beyond.
My plan: A+, Network+, MCP, MSCA, Sercurity+ and then the Security Certified Network Professional (SCNP) or Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA). I cannot find much info on SCNP(salary, jobs etc). My ultimate goal is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). I’ve taken the courses and have hands on for 4 out of 5 certs and have blocked dates for testing. My question is, does this look like a good plan for the future?
Thanks | |

| Hello,
Yes that looks like a great plan. Today's economy calls for diversification which is seen in your plan. The days past of having an employee for every single IT/IS system is gone. Now, companies want their tech folk to be the "Jack of all Trades" knowing something about everything.
Also, since you have a written, well defined plan, you are now ahead of 90% of the people that live in america. Seriously. Think about it, you can't make a long trip without a map. So many people drive off the hood of their car.
You go ! This forum is the best place where minds across the world link up to share ideas, cool links and plans - Welcome !!!!

| First, it make more than 12 months to achieve them.
Second, some certificatino requried employee letter. If you don't have a job and only certification after another. U might not eligible for some certifications.
Everybody want security, but security go with experience not certification. |
