I think you guys have a mostly accurate assessment of my personality type. I'm sort of funny. I make sure everyone knows who I am and I have 99% positive relationships formed with everyone. I put my feelers out recently and have come up empty. Where should I be networking now? AA meetings?

Check out SpiceCorps local to you. They can be iffy on content but the real reason you attend is to interact with people.

That's good, but not local. For you specifically, local is important.

There has to be a Cisco Users Group in your area, they would be able to get you into a networking gig.

I'm looking into a career in networking, generally speaking. I think a lot of knowledge comes with studying those certs. That's the real objective.

Be aware that networking careers are widely available and pay well but are very limiting. There is no networking in the SMB field. So you'd have to make the jump to enterprise which isn't bad in and of itself, but it is going to heavily limit your options.

I worked at a major hospital before I got the job here. At the time I was making less than I do now and only doing desktop support. While working there I started supporting a few doctors offices (friends of mine) and they had 7 rounds of layoffs. I was let go due to seniority. I took this job because I wanted to use it as a learning experience where I understood all aspects of running a businesses infrastructure.
Totally fine with enterprise.

Organic Conversation derailmentHow much of the enterprise does Cisco own? I've never seen specific numbers so was curious.

Unsure of exact numbers but I think they are the front-runner with HP and Dell competing.
