I am persuing my Cisco certifications (CCNA & CCNP). I’m curious to know is this a good move for someone that does not want to spend their life in the server room. I plan to go into network security afterwards (CISSP), but I’m hearing that Cisco guys are the anti-socail bunch who just cant to do CLI all day. I’m looing for an IT career that I can interact with other parts of the business. I like explaining tech stuff but I don’t want my whole day looking at lines of configurations.
Also is contracting the best way to go with these certs or full time positions?
