CCNP and chances of finding a job

[ken]

What are the chances of a CCNP finding a job without prior work experience with routers and such?  I'm debating this issue with my girfriend.  She thinks that job experience is more important, and that I should be looking for a job to move me up.  I, on the other hand, don't think I can find much of a job with just a CCNA and would rather get a CCNP, but I'm not quite sure if just a CCNP by itself can land me a job. Any help would be appreciated.                                                                       -ken
