As a former "bubblehead" and holder of each of those certs, I fully agree
with Charles on the Master's degree. You can, if needed, get the MCSE or
CCNA through a bootcamp in a very short time period (1-3 weeks) but the same
cannot be said for the Master's. The degree would also better position you
for a management track by providing the educational base to complement your
extensive supervisory experience. The certs are "entry level" and would
not, by themselves, provide nearly as much added benefit.
Hope this helps.

If I was retiring in 20 months time AND I have to do one or the other, then
I will opt for a Master's degree - more prestigious, and IMO more valuable
than CCNA and MCSE. I regard CCNA as a stepping stone into the network
industry, and generally requires that more certifications will ensue.
