Is computer networking harder than programming?
Is computer networking harder than programming? Programming is a bit harder and a bit better paying than networking. The CS degree is useful but if you're talented you can certainly get a job via connections and portfolio (I've met plenty of senior level programmers without CS degrees). Which field is better software or networking? The difference between networks and software leads to the difference in required skill sets between network and software engineering. Network engineers tend to focus more on problem-solving in their roles, whereas IT pros with more creative mindsets may prefer software engineering. Is programming needed for networking?...
