yes it happens all the time.. i would suggest trying to key some entry level network gig to start.. as far as time frame it could take 6 to 12 months depending on how you learn

There's nothing wrong with obtaining certifications without experience. Just study especially hard because you have no real life infrastructure to support to get some context. Certainly have a lab at home. You really need to fight to get a break into some hands on networking role though. It's a bit like becoming a real rock star, you learn your craft playing live!

Good luck!

It'll take you awhile to finish your CCNP. Keep studying and looking for a new job. There's no reason not to keep doing both.

I did mine with very little real world experience, it was definitely tough, but obviously possible.
