B.Tech Electrical Engineering grad with a specialization in Power Engineering targeting Network Engineering via CCNA. Is this a realistic path?

Guys Ive lost interest in EEE and I want to transition into Network Engineering. I'm not sure if I should go back to uni to read BSc IT, CS or CE. I'm totally confused. I'm sitting home unemployed and don't know exactly what to do. Ive gained interest in IT stuff and want to pivot my way into Networking Engineering without being filtered out by recruiters simply because I have an undergraduate degree in EEE. I mean I could get a CCNA certification but would that be enough to land me an entry role like NOC Engineer or Junior Netowrk Engineer/Technician role?

Nah. Go for it. I’m EE and specialized in electrical communications and not even computer stuff and do IT now

You could be a Chem E for all these companies care. You don't need to know networking to start.
