ok so i can take a ccna and then go on to take a ccsp. ccsp is somewhat less in demand than ccnp. so, finding a learning center is tougher for ccsp than a ccnp over here. but yes, there are a couple that do provide it. so actually if i am getting it right, it would be most appropriate for me to get a ccna and then a ccsp.. graduate from my college with a BS degree in CS and try to get a job in security.. later i can pursue towards a more advanced cert like a cissp.. is that right? i assume of course that i would get a job easier with my ccsp than otherwise. is this the best way to go.. or any better sugestion? i am ofcourse interested in security.. i have been reading phrack journals.. and feel extemely fond with the lifestyle of a security practisioner.. i am fully aware that this is my field of interest. right now i am the project administrator of a upcoming linux distro still in its developmental stage.

A CCSP is better than a CCNP for security work, but both are quite difficult to get if you don't have access to the equipment through your job. And you don't always have to go through expensive training courses - for the CCNA a good training book and a cheap switch & couple of routers from Ebay can generally get you through. Most employers see the CCNA as an entry-level certification which indicates you know the basics of network switching and routing. Its not a great security cert but its a start.
