I'd try the MBA or better yet a MS in CS. Then if market conditions change you can always stop the MS route and get the CCIE. If they don't, then you can get the CCIE afterwards. It's a better road with fewer bumps than going down a single path. Also, you'll want to consider getting the MBA after you get the MS. It appears to me that the big networking jobs like we saw in the mid to late nineties have all been built and unless you were in the right place at the right time a good job like we saw has disappeared until there is a paradigm shift in the market place.
It seems to get the dream jobs right now the more education you have the better off you are. Especially if you have a Masters degree in Math from a big name school. In the States that would be from MIT, Cal-Tech, or say Harvard to name a few brand names. Good Luck.
