What kind of jobs are in high demand?

I am thinking of taking a CCNA course. What kind of jobs would I land into? Is it in-demand?

• CCNA - Cisco Certified Network Associate

• Answer:

  Candidates have the option of gaining the certification by passing two tests (INTRO and ICND), or one single test (CCNA); the two-test option has the advantage of allowing the candidate to focus on certain subjects. The certification is valid for three years; at that time a CCNA holder must either re-take the CCNA or ICND exam, or take and pass an exam for one of the Professional (e.g., CCNP) or Specialist level certifications (excluding the sales specialist exams), or pass the CCIE written exam. These exams are known by their corresponding numbers. When the curriculum of the exam changes the exam number also changes. The current exam number for CCNA is 640-802 (from 15 Aug 2007). The exam number for INTRO is 640-821 (Last day to test 11/6/07) and ICND the exam number is 640-811 (Last day to test 11/6/07). New ICND Part1 (640-822 ICND1) and ICND Part2 (640-816 ICND2) available from 15 Aug 2007. These exams are conducted by authorized test centers at a cost of $100 each for the INTRO or ICND exams and $150 for the full CCNA exam. There is also the Cisco Networking Academy, which brings the CCNA and CCNP curricula into traditional educational institutions in over 150 countries. Students enrolled in Cisco Networking Academy can request exam vouchers that allow them to take the retired exam for an extended period of time.
