I do both network engineering / consulting as well as training to help others learn that!
Depends on the day! My primary job is to create training videos so that others may learn how to be a network engineer. So it would be a lot of time in my basement, writing notes to scope how the training will go (everything needs a story!), testing things out on equipment to make sure the demonstrations go as planned and then actually recording and editing the video to make it perfect! My secondary job is actual consulting, & I could be anyplace around the world doing a wide variety of things!
Here's the first step for high school students
Network engineering does involve a lot of math. Whether working in binary, decimal or hexadecimal numbering systems, it is important to understand and be able to convert between them. So in middle school, I would make sure to not avoid math classes! Even moving up through the advanced courses, there is a certain logic set that is taught irrespective of the exact formulas! For the consulting end, any thespian activities would be greatly beneficial for speaking and confidence!
