Start w/ the CCNA, as it is the pre-requisite to any other cert, then go deeper for the CCNP/Specialty certs to minimize, or even eliminate, the “salary drop” you mentioned..

IDS,TCP/IP and such. But with shifting to another career. You would have to weigh how well you will be able to achieve your own desire.

Cisco, as with netadmin. You can specialize with any vendor and get certified. Although with that field, i would think most in IT, require hands-on.
