Thanks guys! I plan on taking the ISCW in a week or two. Most likely in two weeks.

I haven't completely decided yet. I thought about going after the MCSE, but the CCDA and CCDP are so close that I might just go ahead with those. Really having a hard time picking.

CCDA/DP without a doubt!

Ask in the MS forums and you might get a different answer though

Seriously though, if you are interested in Cisco I'd stay on a roll with it while you are in a good study groove. If you break off and do the MCSE you will probably have to relearn a lot of stuff to get back to the level you are now. I have found the statement "if you don't use it you lose it" very true.

Good luck on which ever you decide though!

Aww.. we're not that irrational, are we? I say wrap up the design exams while everything's fresh in your memory. Now that you have BSCI done, you're 25% through the IP, so you should go for that one too. Once you have that, you'll have QoS out of the way for the VP, so you should move on to that next. Even though you'll be starting from scratch with security, you should do that one too. Who would want to be missing only one professional level cert? By the time you're done with all that, Server 2008 will have a good foothold, and you can just do the MCITP:EA and skip the MCSE stuff. Sounds like a plan, eh

Congratulations!

Actually I had thought about that. The only reason I was thinking of venturing off the Cisco path was that around here there are not that many Cisco jobs and most IT job postings are looking for a MCSE. I am sure though that if I collect the whole set like

I could probably find somewhere though.
