Which area would you specialise in?

I'm currently in 3rd line support and studying for my MCITP:Server 2008. However, In a few years I would need to progress into something with more money and was tempted to stay in Microsoft. i.e Exchange, as this is a natural progression from my current job.

I feel it pointless to study CCNA and will have to get a entry level position first. So, the point of the thread is to see what everyone else thinks?

Cisco? Exchange? SQL? or anything else? shoot...

I would be thinking about moving away from stuff that can easily be "cloudified" and into stuff that cant. From what I have seen lately the mantra "if it moves, virtualise it" is becoming more of a reality. There will always be plenty of systems that cant be cloudified but can be virtualised so I would (and am) get a heavy dose of virtualisation tucked under your belt.

 

I would say as long as you're interested in more than one technology go for it... These days consultants can specialize in a few technologies... Personally, I am trying Exchange, VMware, and Storage... but that's something that I need to work on.
