I’m currently a line cook, considering making the switch, but I’m a little confused about where to start. A local community college offers some certs that seem promising.
I have a little relevant background, a minor in comp sci, but that was some years ago (trying to relearn some of the material in my spare time now).
Shoot for a CCNP, and do the certs up to that. Networking is an easy one to get into as everybody else is doing cloud computing, devops, AI, or programming. If you dedicate your life to it like programmers do with side projects then you can get above them in salary as well, though its not necessary.
