    Keep in mind the more Certs you get, the more you are expected to know..

    After earning 2 Associates and a couple of Bachelors of Sciences I understand to well about over educating yourself.

    I recommend to focus on looking for a IT related job or networking job.. I'm thinking the NOC ,network Support, and help desk. Just to get some experience documented. In the meantime practice reviewing your CCNA Notes and lab everyday.



    Congratulations on your awesome pass.. icon_cheers.gif

    For the CCNA-S and CCNA Voice it all depends what your interest are.


    My interest is in voice, however in order to prepare for the CCNA Voice you have to build a real lab. Unfortunately this Build would be only for voice.


    If you study CCNA Security, you can use Packet Tracer or Build a real Lab and used it to study for the CCNP>

    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    I am going to second goldenlight and say job experience should be your primary focus now. Dont stop studying, but you want to avoid having the certs you have worked so hard for, not being taken seriously because you lack the experiance to validate them.

    Also, getting some real world experiance will make it easier for you to make a decision as to what path your future studies should take.

    Congratulations!

    If you can get any networking job, that would be the best thing. But while you look, the more certs the better. They don't reflect experience, but they do reflect knowledge. I'm leaning in the direction of widening my experience instead of deepening it. Perhaps getting a Linux+, a Juniper cert, and something in wireless, security, and voice. Just to show that I have knowledge in many things, and that I'm not a one-trick pony if you know what I mean.
