Basically, you're an administrator working on WANs, controlling configurations for routers, switches, etc. Most of it is routing programming, in my opinion. I've done less programming on switches. Uhm.. you have to know your protocols too, like RIP, RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, etc. Then there's subnetting involved, VLSM, etc. It's hard sh`it.
If I had to pick whether I enjoy doing language-programming or doing network maintenance, I'd pick the latter. Everybody has their weaknesses and strong points, and I'm just better at networking.
I see. Eh, i won't do any of that stuff for a while. I guess if i'm going to eventually get the major i'm going to this school for i'll have/want to take this test too.
