How can we even begin to offer you any career advice with your sparse amount of information. Do you have a long range goal? How good is your current academic record? Do you have any interests or particular likes or dislikes? The more information (pertinent) you give us, the better the advice we can provide.

I currently have a long-range goal of becoming a Cisco Certified Master Network Architect (Cisco CCar). Another one is the Six Sigma Certified Master Black Belt at least (there's higher certifications than that).
