Although it is outside of your current commuting distance, if you are looking to
stay in Michigan, you might look into Merit in Ann Arbor, or one of the major
universities.  Merit has been around since the NSFNET/MichNet days.

I really appreciate the specific insights offered by Keegan and Valdis.

- Linking me places to apply for jobs doesn't help. I'm aware of who is
considered Tier I, and how to find their website.

- I'm in Kalamazoo Michigan, and I can commute up to 50 miles. I can't move
until I finish my Bachelors in Computer Networking.

- The job market here is bad.

- I do have a home lab. (Cisco equipment)

2 3350s

4 2611XMs.

- This isn't merely a technical request. I'd like support in this endeavor,
from someone who's 'been there', to tell me things I CAN'T Google.
