You're not old enough, you don't have a degree or even a high school diploma, you're not legally allowed to be a "network engineer" perhaps you could do some little job there and when you get a degree or something then you'll already have a foot in the door.

Edit:A network engineer, also known as network architect, designs and implements computer networks. Unlike network administrators, who perform day-to-day support, the network engineer focuses on high-level design and planning. Network engineers select the appropriate data communications components and configure them to meet user and corporate needs. The construction of a reliable and high-performing network integrating LAN, WAN, Internet, and intranet components entails network modeling and analysis.

A bachelor's degree in network administration, computer science, or information technology is the standard qualification for a network engineering position. In addition, IT certification in networking offers targeted training for a network computer engineer. Examples include the Microsoft Network Engineer and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certifications.

Experiance or knolege of networks severs and enterprise equipment is going to be what you need. I now work in a datacenter as a Network Operations Center (NOC) Engernear.  And I got here because I spent years teaching myself about servers and networks. for sure i still dont know everything and probably never will.   But see if you can start yourself off with some of the basic stuff.   If your low on cash download virtual box  and create your self a few VM's with say windows server 2008r2 and server 2012 R2 (get to learn these)  also have a go at ubuntu server etc.   Then set your self up a domain server DHCP server etc. and get trafic floaing over the virtual network.   This should start you off.  Once you get comeftable with the basics start looking it to learning basc cisco router and swith configurations using the cisco packet tracer app.  Theres lots to learn but showing your enthisiastic and pasionate about it is what will git you in if you want to apply.

 

If you want any guidence or help with stuff im open to being contacted by email or you can chat to me on teamspeek 3  (droped you a PM with the info if you need it.

 

Hope this helps some what.
