Today, the CISCO Company has the greatest credibility in the World because of its advancement in the field of network infrastructure. The solutions of this company for different problems cover more than 80% of the World’s market, which obviously shows the need for highly educated system engineers able to implement and handle this highly developed and complex equipment. The average annual salary of a system engineer who possesses one of the CISCO certificates can be seen at the chart below. This information was taken from: http://tcpmag.com/salarysurveys/
As you can see from the chart, averages for all Cisco certifications and especially for CCNA and CCNP are up in 2006 comparing to those in 2004. The reason for this is the constant need for Cisco Certified Professionals who would be able to install, configure and operate the CISCO equipment. The average salary in 2004 for the average system engineers who held a CCNA was $60,000 and this number has jumped to $76,500 in 2006 which is a rise of 26 %, and those who held a CCNP certificate have an average salary of more than $88,421 a year, in the same period of time, which is a rise of 31 %. In the future, a further rise of salary and a need for the CISCO system engineers are expected because it is a proven fact that great number of companies started to benefit by using CISCO technology.
