I think the misconception here is that by an IT role, you are implying working on the system side and not on the network or telecommunication side. ( Please correct me if I’m wrong here)

Telecom / Networking consitute an integral part of " an actual IT job" - so rest assured, your husband is working in areas that are relevant to his field and will greatly help him understand how things work and contribute to his technical advancement.

Personally, I feel your husband is a fortunate man if his employer has invested so heavily on building his skills and quitting in these circumstances will be extremely ill-advised.

My advice would be to continue building expertise in the networking area and gradually familiarize himself on the system side and take on the essential courses for system administration. If the employer gradually starts investing on the system side, great! And if they don’t and your husband decides to move into the system side, he’ll already have networking experience under his belt. This way your husband will have exposure to both the system and the network side - in IT, that’s premium experience…

As for the team - YOUR HUSBAND IS THE TEAM - Welcome to IT

P.S. Personally, I’d advise your husband to acquire a CCIE level competence as CCNA’s are a dime a dozen these days.

At the moment the work he is doing is mostly Provisioning. and most of their IT work is outsourced at the moment. and the company has enroll hubby into wiring/cabling course and also training course for LG telephone systems. hubby says there isnt much of networking at this workplace but he wants to do networking.

HE will continue his studies. his diploma will finish in nov 12 and than he will start University as he will already have completed half by than. and will continue other CISCO courses.
