@digital.byte: I'm on a mission to make network engineering cool again. We have a big problem online today, and few people recognize it. Every time I open my feed, I see: - AI - cloud - cybersecurity - data engineering - software developers but VERY few network engineers. The next generation is making career decisions based on what they see on the internet. Everything is built on the network. How will they know how cool it is if we don't tell them? It's more important than ever to make sure networking has representation to younger students choosing a career field. It's up to us to carry the torch to the next generation! P.S. What’s your favorite part about your job?

Network engineers are NOT HIRING JUNIORS. I’ve had a job alert for a junior network engineer set up on LinkedIn for 6 months in the Bay Area. I’ve gotten 1 hit, and over 60% of applicants had a masters degree. I’m 23 and I want to do this job more than anything in the world but there is no clear path from entry level to having the title.

But a case should be made for those that come into this field that don’t have degrees in it. Don’t you have a video discussing that was your own experience?

There is no shortage anywhere for labour in anything. There is a market for labour and it will respond to supply and demand. If the price/pay for that labour goes up, more supply will enter the market. if not it won’t. and management won’t do anything until those people retire AND those companies are forced to feel the pain etc. only then will those jobs be again filled if at all. same everywhere. there is no “transition plan”.

NE is being offshored at an alarming rate. New careers should not target it unless you want to be the guy who runs wires and plugs switches in for 30yrs

heard about meter.com/grants - $2k to boost a curious network engineer's desire to learn. a cool option to get more folks to design the most important infrastructure in the world.

No, it's not interesting. It's never been interesting. It never will be that interesting. If all the smartphones in the world went away I just wouldn't give a crap.
