Cisco Prerequisites

Hello Everyone,
  I have a couple of naive questions from a c.e. student. I could'nt help noticing that everyone seemed to at least have an MCSE before attempting the cisco route. Is this highly essential to succeed?
 
I have always been more or less a command line nut, hence Linux has always been a pass time hobby, so I wonder, would this be somewhat similar?
 
Unfortunately, my networking knowledge is basically at the bottom of the scale, since I am just at the ethernet level of networking such as the setting up of multi-homed machines,etc, hence I have been trying to learn all I can about basic networking, i.e. ,  hubs, bridges , switches,  cabling, etc, before actually purchasing a router.
 
Also, I have done a lot of helpdesk type work and some hands on, but it's mostly been desktop related.
 
 So, basically,to cut matters short, could someone advise me on this path:
 
1) Mastery of Basic Networking
2) MCSE or (Routers and CCNA, etc)
 
Thank you....
 Adedapo Ola, MCP
 
 On another note, If I am permitted, I noticed some folks were job hunting for cisco entry level. If it's at least experience that's vital, here's a link for five Junior level cisco
job openings, I think it's through a recruiter though, but, hey the experience is what matters.
