Cisco IT Certificates

Quick backgroud about myself: 23 I do not have a degree and dont know what to do in my life I work full time to help pay parents with their bills and cannot be a full time student. Currently a temp contractor at google. Is it worth it to presue Cisco IT Certificates? My uncle — works as a recruiter — told me it pays really well when you reach CCIE and I fit the job. If so what field is reccomended and is a CCIE worth it in the end?

It is worth only if you can go back in time, 20 years.

It worth a bit where you get some good theoretical knowledge however experience worth more. Ccie without experience is useless.

Do you enjoy it? Are you interested in coding at all? A natural progression could be a data analyst or data engineer with some coding knowledge.

The path from CCNA to CCNP to CCIE takes years and is kind of pointless without career experience
