Sassy,
I just picked up my CCDP (also have CCNP, MCSE CNA, A+). I'm taking the CCIE written soon - and want to do the lab by the end of the year.
Network security never gets old. Networks never get smaller and they never need less security. Along those same lines is why wireless has limitations. Right now, wireless degrades in bad weather. This may be oversome, but you can;t overcome the fact that I can sit on the roof with a mini-dish and intercept your data. This is an exaggeration to make a point but wireless has big security issues.
Look into fiber optics. Few people really understand this medium well - yet everyoine wants it. It supports monster throughput and is virtually impervious to data stealing. Yet few people understand it. The optical Internet is the future and even mighty Cisco is behind (they are handicapped in a sense by needing to service their gigantic installed base.)
Get Cisco certs. They are valuable. But a good fiber optic cable installer - someone who knows optical really really well - can make as much $ as they want.
