This essay sheds light on how to become a network technician, explicates how to be successful as a network technician, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a network technician. While becoming a network technician may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a network technician. Much to the relief of prospective network technicians, it is feasibly possible to become a network technician in a time span of less than a year and the journey to become a network technician is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective network technician can follow to become a network technician is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. Network technician skills are highly desirable skills to possess if a person is adamant about becoming a network technician. Organizations prefer to harness secure and functional computer networks. Network technicians are expected to have the requisite network technician competencies to be able to meticulously "install, maintain, and troubleshoot an organization's computer networks. This includes both hardware components, such as routers, switches, and cabling, as well as software components, such as network protocols and configuration". Furthermore, network technicians are also expected to "diagnose connectivity problems" in "an organization's computer networks" and resolve connectivity problems in "an organization's computer networks". Moreover, network technicians are also expected to "implement upgrades to an organization's computer networks". Network technicians are also expected to educate the employees of an organization "about recommended network practices". Organizations prefer to preempt unauthorized access to their computer networks. Certain people are enticed to become network technicians. This is partially because, as of January of 2026, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a network technician. A person can become a network technician without fulfilling any degree requirements nor certification requirements. A person has the latent potential to become a network technician. A person can become a network technician by implementing the requisite measures to do so. A person can become a network technician by meticulously learning how to "install an organization's computer networks", how to "maintain an organization's computer networks", how to "diagnose connectivity problems" in "an organization's computer networks", how to resolve connectivity problems in "an organization's computer networks", and how to "implement upgrades to an organization's computer networks". Network technicians often have an extensive repertoire of network technician competencies. Network technicians are not only capable of "installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting an organization's computer networks", but are also capable of "implementing upgrades to an organization's computer networks" and "implementing backup solutions to an organization's computer networks". Furthermore, network technicians are also capable of "establishing a virtual private network for an organization's computer networks". Moreover, network technicians are also capable of expeditiously rebooting an organization's computer networks if an organization's computer networks were to temporary shut down. The utility of "an organization's computer networks" is further augmented in contexts in which they are comprised of advanced network hardware devices than antiquated network hardware devices. "An organization's computer networks" are at a lower probability to frequently encounter computer network connectivity problems when an organization utilizes advanced network hardware devices in its computer networks than when it utilizes antiquated network hardware devices in its computer networks. It is preferable for organizations to minimize their annual rate of computer network connectivity problems. The occurrence of computer network connectivity problems at an organization can undermine the workforce productivity level at an organization in contexts in which an organization's employees need to have access to functional computer networks to be able to work on their employee tasks.
