Within the IT field, network administrators are generally focused on how computers work together—rather than the individual parts that make a computer work (which is more the area of system administration). It’s a career that can offer job stability and a competitive salary as you help maintain network gateways, ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and more.

A career in network administration can start with roles as a database specialist or IT communications professional and grow into jobs like an IT director, chief information officer, or network architect. Keeping network operations running smoothly for any organization requires constant learning and adaptation to new technologies, and that’s where City Colleges can help your IT career keep advancing.

With IT jobs, systems administrators are generally more focused on hardware and operating systems—as opposed to the ways in which computers work together (which is the responsibility of network administrators). Systems administrators can enjoy great job security and get to work on a variety of tasks related to operating systems, servers, computer components, data virtualization, and more.

Careers in system administration can begin with a job at an IT help desk or as a hardware technician and grow into roles like a system engineer or system architect. You can start working in systems administration without a four-year degree, but continuous learning is needed to keep up with constantly evolving devices and software. City Colleges can help ensure you’re always up to date.
