Question Trouble deciding Network Admin and Computer Science..

Right now im at a Tech school for Network Specialist with Cisco Option.

First question with that would be which would be better option..Cisco, Windows, or Linux/Unix?

After I get a Associates degree their im gonna go to bigger college to get a bachelors in either Network Administration or Computer Science.

Second question would be which would be better in long run NA or CS degree?

Third question is even though im in for network specialist, can I put credits toward the CS degree?

They are all quite different and, potentially, complementary. Cisco is just plain useful, and can be paired with either of the others.

That depends on where your interests lay and what type of work you naturally excel at. NA and CS can be VERY different fields of work. I work as a programmer and manage to remain almost completely oblivious to networking concepts.

That will depend on the college you go to and the courses you take.

Ok so I guess I will stick with Cisco and prob bet a cert in microsoft.

Ill prob stay with networking cause I am not a good programmer but good at computers and connecting them.

I just hope jobs in future will grow alot more in IT field
