I need more advice from the pro's

I had a tentative plan to start studying right away for the CCNET, hopefully get a job..any job...then continue with CCNA.

Then I was going to attack the Information Security program at Devry:

I spoke with that advisor at Devry again. I told her my plan, and she thinks I should chuck the CCNET/CCNA and get started in their info security program right away (of course she does).

My point was, I can hopefully get a job with the CCNET, and then work on the security degree while I had a job.

Her point is, just having the fact that I'm pursuing their degree is great on a resume.

My point was, just being enrolled in a program doesn't mean that you actually know how to DO the stuff...right? If that were they case, I could have got an engineering job before getting my engineering degree.

Anyway, do you have any clue how long I should expect it to take to get the CCNET if I'm not currently working, and it's my priority?

And does she have any valid point about being enrolled in a program and thinking that will help get me a job? Unless of course the first course on the list (an 8-week course) would be enough to get me in the door somewhere.

Looking for advice, here.
