In comparison to testers requirements Network administrator requirement is lesser. Both professions are different and difficult to compare. However, with increased efficiency of and ever decreasing cost of communication, demand for network professionals is projected to increase by up to 10 percent in next five years.

Two different domains that cannot be compared. It's like comparing apples and oranges. While software testing involves finding errors in a software programme and ensuring it delivers to certain benchmarks, networking involves setting up, administration and management of a network infrastructure. Both have their pros and cons. While networking has been in the market for a long time, it provides an evergreen job opportunity with, however, not-so-decent salary package. On the other hand, Software Testing ensures a better salary package. However, the market is currently over-saturated with software testers. Hence, the job prospect is currently unpredictable. Also, both the domains mentioned in the question are suffering from the flak of being taken over by automation, which might result in even lower employment. Thank you.
