I finished my study from Bangladesh. My background is business. I also take some short courses on computer.
I think man should finished his/her study. Then enter in professional area.
I have an associates degree in network administration and about a year and a half experience doing desktop support/help desk type jobs. Currently I am a level 2 service desk tech at a very easy job with an extremely high amount of downtime.
My question is - What should I be doing to advance and educate myself to get out of help desk type jobs and onto the higher paying/more involved(system admin/network admin/engineer etc) aspects of IT?
A little background: I live in a medium sized town, ~100k people, so the IT job market isn't the best, but there it's there. Should I be studying for certs? Go back to school for a bachelors? Learn other technical aspects such as coding/programming/web development?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
