Hey experts take a look at my path to being one of the best network engineers tell me what you think
I want to be a top notch Network Engineer i currently have an Associates degree and Network+ and in studying for Server+ im taking at the end of this month. The other exams i plan to sit in future are CCNA, CCNP, Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure-MCP, Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure-MCP, because these focus more on the network side for microsoft and also the Security Plus by Comptia.

I choose this path because a Network Engineer i think a true Network Engineer should be able to configure the network starting from the server, then the network itself and then the workstations seeing as how all three of the areas have something to do with the overall network.
So in those three areas i just choose all the exams that have anything to do with networking
OK, but I would take some time off to get some practicle, real-world experience. You read all of the time about hiring manager being turned off by a bunch of acronyms tacked onto a resume. I would definately grab a Cisco cert as they are always welcomed.

In fact, I would even go further and say that Cisco should be the primary focus for the future.. I would not even bother with any more CompTIA certs.... MS MCP 2003 tracks are good, and make you understand the Server Setups, but when it comes down to routing / switching and how packets move around the LAN, everything takes second place to Cisco... In fact, until I focused on the Cisco CCNA, I could not even make much sense of the OSI model.. but everything came pretty much crystal clear after that...

Your certifications wont mean anything without work experience, you will just be a 'Paper' network engineer, and ive seen plenty of them in my life--they really suck
