Exactly. The most difficult and daunting aspect of the entire process is just getting up to speed. When you're starting from scratch, a CCNA and/or MCSE is an enormous undertaking. Once you get there though, you'll be fine as long as you keep up with things. It's basically maintenance after that (until you decide to pony-up and go after a CCIE or something

).
