Security Career Path

I passed my ISCW from Cisco last month, I'm studying now for Security+, and I think I'm going to focus on security and wireless for my career. I already got my CWNA/CCNA. So my plan is:
Security+
CCNA:security
CCNP(2 exams completed)
SSCP
CWSP
CCSP
I'm not working entirely in security now, but maybe within 1 year or 2 I'm gonna change for a dedicated security job after Security+, CCNA:security and my CCNP. Is that a good vision ?
Maybe in 5-6 years I'm going to be a network security administrator.
Thank you.

What about education? What do you have for a formal college degree? That's very important in IT as well.

One of the standard bits of advice is to look on the major job boards at the type of jobs you'd like to have and look at what employers are asking for in terms of certification, education, and experience. You might find that you should make the CCSP a higher priority, and not bother with the CWSP unless your goal is to work specifically with an 802.11 wireless company (unless you just want the cert for the knowledge).
