I don't mean to offend anyone, but the job market doesn't owe anyone a job,
and I include myself with that statement. Right now a CCNA or NP with little
or no experience is going to have as much luck selling that skillset as a
street vendor selling "September 11th - We will not forget" stickers. There
was a heavy demand for them 6 months ago, but there's hardly any demand for
them now. If you don't think that analogy applies to IT, then there are some
COBOL programmers I'd like to introduce you to.
Face it, there is little if any demand forpeople with just a CCNA, or even
an NP without much work experience. I feel bad for you, I really do. So
adapt; look to see what there is a demand for, and more importantly what
there will be a demand for, and work towards fitting that mold.
Sorry if I sound bitter, but here's my perspective - every year my school
kicks out at least a dozen CCNA's, and that's considered low.

No kidding and good luck. Even when the economy was good I couldn't find a
job. If you have a BSEE your odds are a lot better, but my business degree
didn't get me anywhere.
My current position is 75% NT and 25% Cisco. You might have to find a job
like mine at a company that will give you some exposure to the Cisco
equipment.
