Thinking Ahead to CCNP

in CCNA & CCENT
Hey all..
Just thinking ahead here...but I have been studying for the CCNA for quite a while...I found that to thoroughly understand the material inside out its taken about 10 months (with full time school + work).... I am almost completely ready I think.
I notice the CCNP is 4 exams... but do each of the 4 exams entail as much information as the CCNA? This would mean it takes me almost 4 years to become a CCNP!
Don't get me wrong... I'm in no rush and I try to really understand this stuff inside and out... but I am basing the 4 exams on the amount it took to fully understand the CCNA.

I was told by a ccnp that there are 5 test to do the ccnp (the 4 ccnp+1ccna) if you catch my drift. I think the NP material is more in depth.
As far as I have heard the BCMSN and BSCI are the beasts of them all! With the BSCI being the main beast to tackle.
I totally agree
