Well, thats two mentors - and now one from the old school.... Why wait? Start Now. Use the resources Chris gave you & others you find, take Jims advice re total commitment, and then weigh that in the balance w/ your academic path. (noting that vendor credentials are good for the HR folks filtering the krill, but are not a reliable indication of skill or passion) Look for an internship while in school. Something part time. Build little ISPs in your dorm room using the VM tools and build/test complex topologies and random failure modes. Pipe size is one thing, engineering in your sleep is something else. of course YMMV. /bill (now too old/slow to run w/ the big dogs)
