Online degrees in network administration
Network administration can provide a solid career with excellent prospects. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that employment for network, systems and database administrators "is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations and add 286,600 new jobs over the 2008-18 decade." And, in 2010, the BLS reports that the mean annual wage for network administrators was $72,200, with the top 10 percent earning more than $108,090.
Network administration can also be an excellent stepping stone for highly ambitious people who want jobs at the very top of world-class organizations. Indeed, The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Harvard's MBA intake for 2013 is likely to contain twice as many students with technology backgrounds as the class of 2012.
