Jr. Network Engineer
I manage the networking infrastructure and system administration.
I respond to user requests that come in to my team (Network Services). I am responsible for creating new user accounts, patching and upgrading servers, securing various files on file servers, and maintaining our network infrastructure. I also create documentation, and manage the Macs for our organization.
Here's the first step for college students
Lots of research. Then, simply buy a book, and start studying. There is so much information and so many resources available, just stay focused. Look for internships, build a small lab (some you can do for free), and simply focus on getting better at your craft. Break something (your network) and try to fix it. Get involved with forums such as Spiceworks and ExpertsExchange. Learn what the experts are doing and how they got there. NETWORK!
