Good for you. Do NOT stop. Back in the 90s I couldn't afford to continue college and I started at a computer store carrying boxes making $21K/yr. I got Windows 95 certified then studied my ass off for my CNE (7 tests) and life changed. I'm 46 now, make ~$200K/year and have quite a few certifications although most are outdated. Certifications do NOT replace experience and do not impress other tech people but they look great on a resume and help you focus your studying.

If you really want to get exposure apply for consulting jobs. Getting stuck in one network will limit your scope. Even though my focus has been enterprise security/ediscovery for 10+ years now I still rely on my windows, linux and network skills every day.
