The problem we all face sooner or later is that the
world did not start with Routing and Switching and
does not end with it either.
I know I have a lot of Wireless, Network Management,
Security, and VoIP networks from mostly every vendor
to contend with on any given day.
I'm not the only one.
The more areas of expertise we are accomplished in the
better able we are to perform well on a daily basis on
any given job on hand.
I know the time I spent with Servers and even Desktops
helped me a quite a bit to get to where I am today.
Voice, Security, and a I daresay MPLS are technologies
that will help me as I progress in my career.
I suspect many of us will be needing the same skills.
