Poll: What is the highest demand field? Routing & Switching, Security, VOIP?

Hello,

I was just curious which is the highest demanding field right now in the CISCO field. I am currently studying for my CCNA but definitely know that I am not going to stop there. What is the highest in demand? I have posted a poll, please cast your vote!

I just started at a Cisco Shop last week, from what I'm learning they all play a major role and you really just have to go the path that interests you the most. Our company provides managed solutions for customers including security, routing, and VoIP. At my location there's an expert for each one of these paths. My boss is CCIE #2148 I just found out the other day! He's pushing 6 figures I bet, but I'm thinking most of the guys here are close to that! Me personally I'm leaning towards routing and switching with some design because security, VoIP, and wireless just doesn't interest me as much as network designs and the routing between them.

design gets paid more

but you need r/s to be able to do it
