I would suggest staying with the Cisco track for right now, and if you have time do your MCSE along with it. Don't be discouraged if you have to start your way from the bottom because of no exp, that is how most of us had to start. I would suggest finding a small tech support job or something you can work part time and stick with it for about a year or so, and then move on. This way you will become a well rounded IT pro and get the good fundamentals which the books can't teach you. Hope this helps

I'm taking the CCNA on the 19th of December and am already inrolled in CCNP on the 11th of January. Keep climbing if you can, the higher the better
