What Is Networking?

Wireless, computer or telecommunication networking, what is the best specialization?

• Hello, I understand that in many ways these fields intersect, however, i am somewhat confused what to do as i am currently studying telecommunication engineering (4 year bachellor), and i would like to, while i am studying to do some reading into specific areas. Networking has caught my attention, and then there is the issue of what specialization within networking. I will have small individual courses in all these areas in my major, however, not as deep as i want. Therefore, i would like to know what area, in networking (wireless, computer or telecommunication networking) would be best to specialize in when it comes to job opportunities, salary ranges and application areas. Many say, that telecommunication and computer engineering will cover most in wireless, just as telecom would cover some areas in computer networking and the other way around. However, this is not what i am looking for, just cover it. I want to go in dept within one of these areas. Only one of these specialization will go well into all the protocols, engineering rules and requirements for that certain area. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

• Answer:

  Computer networking is basically the whole range of "stuff" that you need to know if you are in any of these fields.
