    What is "networking proper" ? It's not an exact science, depends what you want to do, if you like the idea of working with cisco kit then get a job as junior admin and show a keen interest and start working towards your CCNA/CCNP I would of assumed the sort of natural progression for a junior admin would be a snr sys/net admin

    I would have been a junior admin before , now doing a not too dissmilar role, but contracting (for ltd company thank god) , but theres a limit (obviously) on what access i have got to network, thanks for ure response. i guess by networking proper i meant a networking role with one of BT,Eircom, o2 etc
