Well, what I am trying to do is get more theory doing the CCNP to have
chances to get a job like K Sacca described. I also got
a phone interview and I was successfull. During the face-to-face interview
with 7 persons I failed: most of questions were beyond CCNA level, and I
think that I could make it if I had achieved the CCNP knowledge. Of course a
degree and client-server experience and hands-on in the labs would be an
asset a job like that.
