Currently I am enrolled in a community college, getting my associates degree in Network Administration. Once I get that I am going to a university to get my bachelors. I have worked at a computer repair store in the past and loved it, and so I wanted a career where I could enjoy working with computers all day, and make enough money to support a family. My questions are:
1) Would a network admin degree be the best degree I could get that involved repairing or tinkering with computers on a daily basis? If not, then what is?
2) I have my COMP TIA IT Fundamentals certification, and plan on getting the A+, Networking+, and MSCE. Do I need these certifications if I have a network admin degree? Will it be easier to get a job with these certifications, and with a degree? Will these certifications get me a better paying job with a degree? What other certifications do you recommend for the IT field?
