Regarding career. Please help.?

We Answered:

Ok , you are good to go.
Few things which you need to follow

Do not quit the present job , continue your job and try to finish the Networking course simultaneously.
29 is not a big age . Still you are in the Race.
I can not gaurantee you but i am sure that you will not be a looser if you finish the Networking courses.
The minimum salary for any network engineer starts with 10 k to 15 K depending upon the previous expereince. They may earn upto 25 also as a fresher.

Hope that i have answered all your questions.
