New Goal: BS IT-Security at WGU.

Yeah, depending on which particular IT degree you go for, you could end up with more or less certs (for example my plan replaces two of those useless CIW certs with much more useful -- but intimidating -- CCENT, CCNA, and CCNA Security certs)

Of those three, I had the most trouble with the CCNA, CCENT was just ICND1, CCNA just seemed worse for me (it was too broad). CCNA-Security (IINS) was an absolute cake walk (I had a bad respiratory infection, but still took the test, nailed it and went home for 2-3 days of being miserably sick). The CCNP-R&S tests were harder due to level of knowledge required but easier in the sense that you knew what they're testing on. Routing, switching or troubleshooting.
