    Hi. I am about 3 years out of college and I'm currently working in software side of my computer degree howvere I now would prefer to be in the network side. I studied networks as part of my degree but didn't take it any farther. I realise I would need additional certifications such as CCNA etc to get a career in networking but there seems to be few places that can provide course for this and they few that I've seen charge crazy money like 5000 for 12 weeks. Does anyone know what my best option would be? Thanks.

    You will probably have to get yourself into a Helpdesk level 1 position and work your way up while doing the certs at the same time . It will take time and be prepared to be on poor enough money compared to software development . But once you moved up threw the positions you will be on good money.
