There are guys who take the two concurrently! I'd put more emphasis on the degree. If you can, take CCNA as part-time. On 8 February 2011 16:39, Athar Ahmad Bhatti <atharab@gmail.com> wrote:

My take is that you must decide between investing for the future or getting a short term return.
1. Certifications are not permanent and will hamper your future growth if not supported by a degree. You will be a great techie but overlooked when it comes to being considered for a managerial position.
2. A degree takes time and effort to complete whilst a certification can be done whilst working. Once you start working, getting time to complete a degree gets more difficult.
3. There is a positive side to the certification where jobs may be easily available. But you are faced with a very low glass ceiling which cannot be penetrated using certs.
My 2 cnts.
