Cisco offers 10 CCNA certifications that each validate different skill sets:

CCNA Routing and Switching
CCDA
CCNA Cloud
CCNA Collaboration
CCNA Cyber Ops
CCNA Data Center
CCNA Industrial
CCNA Security
CCNA Service Provider
CCNA Wireless
It’s common to find these certifications folded into the “preferred certifications” sections of a seemingly generic network administrator position. More often than not, job titles aren’t what they seem. Network admin or network engineer are catch-all terms that sometimes belie their specialization. Sometimes, however, employers make it easy to spot a specialized job. In those cases, they’ll use a more precise job title.

The CCNA R&S validates the knowledge and skills an entry-level networking professional would learn in their first couple of years on the job. During that time they’ll usually be in support, help desk, or even performing some system admin functions. The most common job you can get with a CCNA R&S is network administrator.

Understanding Computer Engineering

It’s important that you know what a computer engineer does in their day-to-day lives before we start talking about the possible computer engineer salary. Why is this important? Well, it’s pretty easy to throw out numbers left and right. However, without proper context, those numbers don’t mean anything, now do they?
