I think that progression is listed fairly well for a working foundation. To add to that (in no particular order)...
Network+ > CCNA
Why not CCENT > CCNA? CCENT is basically the same as Network+, but gives you credit towards CCNA
Because it costs money and, as you said, it's basically the same thing. I've told people to just keep studying and skip it if they already have the Net+. Assuming they want to keep going and are considering the CCENT because they think it holds more merit than the Net+ as far as difficulty and industry recognition goes. Only reason is I think it's just a waste of money when someone could spend more time studying for the CCNA and just go ahead and test on that.
Just my opinion though.
I agree, I'd rather have the Net+ and the CCNA because it's two totally different exams and tests. The CCENT is pointless if you get the CCNA.

Great post and well said. This is similar advice to what I give... but much more thoroughly thought out and written.

Eli the computer guy abhors the CCNA. Not sure the story on that.

Probably saturation. He probably sees the CCNA now as people saw the A+ more than 5 years ago. Also probably has to do with being vendor specific for being so regarded... instead of something that is truly standard.

I'm sure he would beg to differ. I randomly decided to let a couple of his daily vlogs run in the background, the dude is quite sure of himself when it comes to be an IT person. What would make you think he's got nothing to offer? Just curious.

I've had run ins with him on SW where he was violating policy and said that he could do anything that he wanted there basically because he was more important than all of us. Very unprofessional, I felt.

That's a good reason. I see the CCNA as worthless. It's dead common, only useful for people too low on the totem pole to need Cisco specific details. If someone has one, I start to assume that they aren't sure what a networking job looks like. It's "that cert" that you get when you are confused about what different certs are for.

You can skip the CCNA and go straight to a CCNE? or whatever the higher level is?

You're right he would beg to differ. He says some good stuff, but he is too full of himself. He's a really bad teacher. The analogies he uses are awful and rarely make sense. He feels like he must make an analogy for everything.

Is CCNA not "Cisco"? Is it very general?
Is there a high-level but general networking cert above Net+ that is worthwhile? Or should one only look to Cisco tracts? What about Juniper? I would kind of want to ride both trains. When job hunting, sure Cisco turns up more, but I've been interested in plenty of jobs where it turns out they use Juniper. Makes me hesitate to jump deep into either unless job required it.

It's a higher level, it's the first level of cert that you need to usefully be trained on Cisco. You need a CCNP or higher for a "Cisco job".

Not much. Networking rapidly becomes about knowing the products.

That was the impression on SW, too. And he's not even a community member, really, he's very much a newbie without any peer review.

Right. Not everything needs an analogy. You can explain things and assume people know what you're talking about. Making analogies ALL the times is the same as treating your students like idiots. Just explain the tech. If someone doesn't understand, try a different approach at explaining it, but leave the analogies out of it.

Tough in a video, big audience and he doesn't know what people get and what they don't.

Question: Why should I participate at Mangolassi?
Answer: Um, well, ok, think of it as kinda like a hamburger, but it has no onions. The hamburger is tasty and useful, but maybe missing some flavor. You click reply and type something. That something is like onions you're adding to the burger. The burger becomes tasty and has more flavors, people like it. The entire burger becomes more complete. And the more people reply and add ingredients, the better the burger tastes. When you create new threads, it's like having fries or shake, and then other people add some salt or chocolate. Mangolassi is like a multi-course meal, the Internet is like a restaurant.....
That answer your question?
Ok I'm out.....
