    It looks to me you are serious about networking then and you are going around it the right way. Just be prepared to lock your self in a room with some cisco routers/switchs for a few years after you do your CCNP. ;)

    Having a goal of being a CCIE is very reasonable but having the knowledge to back it all up is just as or more important then the 4 letters. I would love to be a CCIE in 10 yers time but right now i just want to take the next step and see how it goes. I certinaly dont want to be a MS head all my life and comms seems to be a better long term option for me.

    Im planning to head to OZ soon aswell, well im actually going to NZ in 5 months then OZ about 18 months after that. Certs might get you the interview but ill be relying on my own expereince on the job to get me work not just "I have cert x/y, give me a job!" Maybe my tone was too hard but its just a warning to others who place too much emphasis on papers certs, as I know a lot of that goes on.

    Sorry for taking this thread off topic.

    Not really unless you want some donkey work, (assuming you are talking about IT work).

    Graduates usually need to be trained up in 'real work skills' (depending on what area you are in).
