I don't get it what does she hope to accomplish in the class?
someone told her there are very few women in this field (which is absolutely correct) and a CCNA can make starting 60k/yr (which is correct if 1) you have a clerance 2) dont have a clerance but KNOW your shit like you wrote the book on it) )
neither apply to her..but she's hoping someone is gonna hire her since she is a minority female..
HOWEVER that shit dosen't work in this field cause information = $ and ya fuck up and accidentally block off the transfer of info (which is what routing is all about) you could loose someone tonnes of money VERY quick...
if she gets lucky someone that knows her will hire her as a tier 3 <sic> technitian / engineer and give her limited access to the routers and switches at which position she will stay literally forever and pick up little bit here and a little bit there along the way...(she'll make around 40 doing that but i guess that more than what ya make working for a jewelery store ..)
after 911 that aint happening..sometimes people that dont know their stuff make it into a job only to make tier 2 or tier 1 (gotfirbid) engineers job harder fixing her fuckups..it happens..i wish her the best but its gonna be a tough climb for her..
in a big network where you have tonnes of networks (IPs) floating around and a lot of hardware its a pain in the ass for track down someone elses mistake..esp if they dont come to you and tell ya they fucked up..which most dont..
1 of my star pupils is taking his test right now..i'm all nervous like i'm having a baby or something..
