Wao Dedan your thinking from 15 -18 mins is exactly like mine ... I've been in network/infrastructure/security for a while and done couple of IT, network/security certifications, they expire as usual. Then one day, I said to myself why not get something that does not expire. So I decided to do a master in Networks and computer systems security. Like you said, I did my master degree with zero expectation of making extra money from it. But at least it will not expire, my children will understand my degree and it does feel good to say you're a professional with masters degree. New comers are lucky to have virtualisation environments, so my advice to them will be to self study, get industry certifications and maybe get a degree.

[@7DEnergy]

People like myself need to see interviews like this. I'm honored to watch the two of you to explore real life Network Engineering.

[@Designandrew]

Networking is so fundamental to every aspect of IT but so few IT guys only have the most basic layer 1 understanding.. I did a "TCP/IP Networking Fundamentals" course as part of my masters, and it was invaluable in my job.

[@dylansands2627]

This style and format is great and informative need more.

[@rossmanngroup]

41:10 the importance of passion

[@DeronGordon]

Louis!

[@commandermcnash5137]

Some emotional attachment may be inevitable in the things we do, haha.

[@Chrisshao]

I like this format for the interview/video. :)

[@AKIOTV]

I like hosted by INE videos too!

[@windell0121]

Even at his level he is CONSTANTLY studying and learning. Plus he was checked at the interviews also by the Cisco Management who all had CCIE's who couldnt be bluffed about the info for doing the job. You get to a point in which you MUST KNOW THE CRAFT.

[@dtriplett03]

Absolutely Useful Eli! Thank you for sharing your experience Dedan, and Thank you for your Service Brother! Thank you INE crew! Very Professional production.

[@nLexy]

Great content, Eli. I was really surprised with the type of content you did, and this is by far the most enjoyable video I watched from you. You prove to be a great host.

[@WreathStorm]

I know you have a lot of thanks already, but I must also say thank you. This interview was absolutely PERFECT. As a college student, I needed to see and hear this.

[@krizanand]

I like this type of interviews. I am a network security engineer, listening to people who have been there and done, sharing their experience. Very valuable advice to build your career.

[@ishugupta1664]

Sir i'm a MCA last year student. I have done my CCNA in Security and I want to start my career in security, could you please guide me " how to start my career in security domain"

[@Troy-eh4ql]

[@mikethompson7406]

2:20 YES! So many applicants who wrote down BGP on a resume and I ask, "what is the difference between eBGP and iBGP" and the answer I always get, "iBGP is internal and eBGP is external" lol Worst cast scenario I'm looking for "same AS vs different AS" and then some attributes that do or do not transfer. So good man! I love BGP.

[@AgainstAllThingsEnding]

I like this guy - great interview!

Awesome video Eli!

[@Cajmoney31]

This was very informative. Thanks for the information.

[@ernestlane]

Langston is impressive regarding his philosophy about work, serving clients and advice. He developed his life course to fit his situation. Being a Navy pilot is no easy task nor is networking one of the world's top shelf university.

[@jcolon4705]

[@Neon2110]

It would be cool to get a cybersecurity expert.

[@KelvinGalabuzi]

Same thing i keep telling myself.If you want to know security,get back to the nitty gritty of networking,system administration.not just jumping into something.And the highlight of the interview,if you don't love it don't do it. Awesome interview Degan

[@i.n.2899]

This was great

[@chinodemiguel2]

[@andrew260z]

yep liked this - need to keep the format around 1 hour or less Eli - myself and many IT pros don't have 2 hours to sit through a full video of yours. This was a real world interview and very relevant.

[@Wars7498]

Andrew P speed up the video in the settings.

[@michaelzack5589]

Feeding off the mission mindset and leadership.

[@kodeine222]

are you at that old tobacco family that they refurbished in north carolina eli? that same company is supposed to refurbish an old factory where i live and i cant wait

[@pwhales264]

Great Interview

[@chumpmu1]

Great Interview!!

[@chumpmu1]

To anyone that may come back to this video, my specialty was around Systems WinTel Engineering. Just go dig into all the free online labs and tutorials/books available to you. You do NOT need a college degree to learn this stuff. As I’ve grown into a manager, I’m lucky in that I get to still be more technical - and that I get to work more closely with the Networking/TelCo side of things too. If you love Infrastructure- go for it. If it’s just a money goal - find something else, because you DO stay busy.

[@emimakeimokhai2638]

Very nice ,than you.

[@stefanvujic8197]

Loved the interview, that dude has some tree trunk arms.

[@igrewold]

[@allancaseries796]

KZbin is the Greatest ,verry cool .

[@SooperBeez]

[@drew7257]

Eli, have you thought about posting your videos to Vimeo in addition to KZbin?

[@ndleinahaystack]

I need to spend more time with IT/Ne tree working professionals

[@fasteddylove876]

Did he say it's a terrible idea to get a home lab? If so, why & what would be the alternatives?

[@wnalikka]

PASSION i heard it.

[@19coyote80]

Any relation to Big. E?

[@SuperThisishowwedo]

What a badass.

[@koolkokujin7015]

I retired from the Navy in 2011 and looking to get in to the IT Field. I have my Security+, network+ and I'm working on my CCNA. I have always wanted to get in to networking while in the Navy but was not a allowed to cross rate(change job). My concern now is that I'm "too old" to enter in to the networking field because of so many applicants who are much younger and just entering the workforce. What are your thoughts on this?

[@townman1]

I was in the Navy , left a good career and decided to start over , went to college got my degree and started at IBM , never looked back ,did some great work for DOD, DOJ , during the shooting war . I have zero regrets. You are only too old when you are dead.

[@koolkokujin7015]

Thanks for the advice.

[@Albin143able]

Hi...keep going...everything will come at ryt time.

[@ThaShadowKing]

I feel you on the maryland part man. its too much here.

[@fraser1237]

CCIE !!??? Smart guy then!

[@mikeyvester]

I just have a lowly diploma from a technical college. 31 years so far. Currently working at my retirement job mining emergency department data. What tools do I use you ask? I build my own with a compiled language. Products like Tableau or Crystal Reports are for people to stupid to write code.

[@HipHopBeatSource]

People who don't know code are stupid?... How does one become good at writing code?

[@mikeyvester]

HipHopBeatSource Just being sarcastic. Learning how to code takes a lot of practice. If you enjoy doing, you will probably get good at it.

[@tinostarks]

this was really good.

[@xls6056]

what would he rent? sounded like he said ragtime? 13:45

[@davidbasset7557]

rack time. as in racks of expensive routers, switches, firewalls etc..

[@guillermotijerino]

No Mather what they said after couple of years 5 o clock! Good bye see you tomorrow

[@mohamedwaellabidi9461]

Cool stf

[@katarjin]

[@linkinl1]

You guys are sitting so far apart :`(

[@buddythehacker3360]

[@mandidani5383]

is networking is dying and software engineering is the future

[@t-72k16]
