He is a Noc tech
I don't exactly his role there
I know he didnt have a cert when he got hired but later got his Bachelor's in Comp Science(which really has no relation to what he does but was need to move into a management position)

He hates DC tho and wants to move to Texas but he had a house built in VA and it was expensive as shyt and not that big

You think it was the degree that pushed him up to the 6? or he got hired at 6?

naw- he got out the Army in 08 and got hired making 6figs- he didn't complete his degree till 2011

he got a raise in his 1st 3 months

when I 1st got out I got offered the same position with USCENTCOM in Tampa making 77K I turned it down for around the same in Dallas and then came to Afghanistan

Yeah DC is six figures or bust... shyt is kinda wild out here as far as cost of living is concerned I left NY to come here to deal with roughly the same type of shyt i was trying to get away from

that's why I bypassed the DMV
I had an offer working at the Pentagon there(which I actually work for now in Afghanistan)but I dont have to live there
to me it doesnt add up

the money stretches so much farther in the south

Best to start with a ccna and then get a ccnp. CCNA will get your familiar with advanced networking and then commands associated with cisco hardware. CCNP will delve futher into this. Its like getting a masters degree in networking. It takes as long as it takes for you to understand the material. CCNP and CCIE can sometimes ruin families so hopefully you're single. These arent certs you can cheat your way to obtain because ultimately you will be put to task of understanding what you're learning and can easily be exposed, and fired.

or relationships

 

[Chris.B]

You can pull 6 figures with a ccnp.

 

[Rawtid]

How can i obtain this as a civilian?

Be fukking lucky.

On a rare occasion you may find a company willing to pay for it but I haven't seen that in a long time. The most I see now is a public trust.
