That is kind of up to you, but if you're looking to move up and on somewhere else you will need further education college degree would be a good place to start. Better yet does your company have a tuition reimbursement plan? Time to make use of it. The plain and simple truth is you've two choices, consulting work and education. Consulting won't necessarily get you job continuity but will let you drive your own path. Education is always an investment in yourself and can't do anything but benefit you. Both will get you meeting and networking with a whole new group of people and these contacts are important because its people in the end who hire you. And if someone knows you as a top notch network professional, well its that much easierto get your resume moved up to the interview process.
Good Luck!

Since you already have some certs.Going after a college degree will help you alot.Colleges are offering online courses that allow you to still work a full time job and gain a degree..Heres one of the schools that will also give you credit for what you already know.
