Server/workstation hardening? Forensics? There is a lot to do in this field. One thing you should know is you can't secure something you don't know or exploit services/programs you don't understand. My suggestion is get some experience with what you want to do. If network is what you want then start with you cisco studies. If you want hardening and server/workstation security knowledge then start your microsoft studies. If you want to pentest then start learning all of them plus linux. Either way you need to know what you want to protect in order to protect it.
