Hi everyone,
Right now I work as an IT Manager for a small, upstart business in Florida. I got the job almost entirely based on experience and at present time hold no certifications (although I have studied for A+ & CCNA). I plan to relocate in the near future and am having trouble deciding my career path. My interests right now are to get a N+, CCNA, and/or L+ to make myself marketable while I pursue a degree. But with the economy today, it's so much harder to figure out how to be marketable.

If anyone has any insight to my situation, I'm all ears. Your comments are all appreciated.

Regards,
 
From your comment,
"But with the economy today, it's so much harder to figure out how to be marketable."

To be marketable is to get more Certifications!!!
More the merrier I say. With the help of today's awful economy, we need every little certification we can get our little hands on.
Try to get all the basic ceritifications to widen your choices. Then on, try digging into one specific one all the way for the high level. Since you already possesses experience, you should know which path interests you more than the other.

If you ask me, I'll go for Cisco in a heart beat. But this is very biased opinion.
