Network Administrator to Cisco ? Instead of nightly NOC

Hi All,
I was thinking would it be wiser to go for a network admin job then switch to Cisco/CCNA rather than switching gears from net admin as I'm almost there going to a nightly NOC at a lower pay rate?

P.S. How much have you been drinking?
Do you enjoy being a network administrator or would you prefer being a network engineer? Would you enjoy a hybrid role as a lot of those are out there.
The other thing is we don't know what you make now and what your current job duties are. Answer those and you can get a better answer. No, you don't have to completely drop what you are doing and go NOC from an administrator role. I would get my CCNA and slowly transition over to networking or do a hybrid role if you enjoy that.
This is more or less what I was talking about, should've been cleared. It was kind of funny actually. So I'm fairly close to becoming a net admin (exchange, vmware, server 200
Well no one can really tell you what to do for a living. Is that what you want to do or do you want to be. If you are doing service desk now I can't imagine NOC or a jr network admin would be a pay difference for you.
But I always tell myself what do I want to do until I retire or a form of it. Networking won for me but that is me.
