Might be a pain for you now m8, but it could well be your "foot in the door".

I guess these are the considerations you need to think about in the short term.

IMHO

 

I suppose some sacrifices have two be made for any change off direction in live be it career wise or anything else. Basically im intrested in Networking and want too do the CISCO cert and design install etc etc Networks for Small Buisness (hopefully )

 

I have to agree with Gav. If you have little experience and brand new certs, you are not going to command a large or even decent salary right away. Remember, for every job you apply to, you are competing with a lot of other people trying to break into IT plus all the more expereinced IT folks looking for a job.

I lost my first career over 5 years ago and pursued IT as my second career. I'm working full-time and still don't make quite the base pay I was making 5 years ago...and that's not even taking inflation into account.

I'll get there, but it'll take time. I take on side jobs (mainly writing with a smattering of other types of work) to supplement my income. To get into IT, you're gonna have to bite the bullet for awhile.
