So I want to try and go into a tech school for a Networking Associates Degree, is anyone a network engineer and can give me a rundown on some things I would like to know
>What is a basic day for you?
>How much is entry level pay?
>Are you always on call even weekends?
>Was is a hard subject in school (if you took classes for it)
>What are some bad things about it
>What are some good things about it
I got the same degree! Don't bother unless you're going to at least get your bachelor's.
I ended up interviewing for things like tape librarian. Paid minimum wage, with a chance of promotion after 2-3 years to something a little more lucrative. You won't be able to do better than that, and will more than likely end up running cable for a local ISP with just an associates.
I ended up getting a job in a totally different field that didn't require my degree at all, but I will say that if I could do it again, I'd get a generic business degree.

Idk if my school that I would go to has bachelor's for networking and it's the best one in the state

most jobs in the field seem to like to see a bachelor's degree(thought not necessarily in that field). An associates is going to be worthless to you unless you have certifications, and certifications help a lot even with a degree(in terms of being able to command a higher salary and having some job security or standing out from other people being interviewed).

What do you mean certifications? Do I get them in school or is it like a internship thing?

you usually take a test after you study a bit. you can probably enroll in classes for them.
