No I do get it. There is work you have to do to work up to getting a CISSP. Instead of applying that time and effort into getting a Sec+ which is pretty much useless in the rest of the Federal agencies, his time is better spent working his way up to testing for the CISSP. You keep thinking I'm suggesting that he can just get an Exam Cram read up on it and pass the test for the CISSP cert. I've never said anything like that or even implied it.
But putting this back on track as what the OP originally asked for, is the main goal is to work his way through the Cisco cert track if he wants to at least give himself a chance to break into the world of networking. With no Cisco cert and no experience, it's going to be a real challenge finding work.
