Well, I'm probably going to try to get my ccnp for kicks. I'll re-do my CCNA, then do my ccnp. By the time I go for my NA cert I'll pretty much be ready to go for the np cert.

I'll build a new resume emphasizing my network stuff, though my resume is already fairly heavily focused on networking as is, and try again.

I'm pretty happy with my job in almost every way, I know most of the things I would need to know to be successful, despite it being a more generalist position, and my co-workers are cool. Management is better than most, and the pay is more than the last two generalist positions I've worked, plus it's work from home, so I'm pretty comfortable where I am for now. The pay, despite being higher than I've gotten previously, is a pretty far cry from what I probably deserve, just way too low, under $55k USD (I'm not in the US, but the conversion puts me under 55). From what I've seen online, median salary for a systems admin, which is basically what my job mostly entails, is around $73k USD... So I'm around $20k/yr shy.

I know network admins are similar, depending on the complexity/importance of the network they administrate. I'm aware of people in networking that are making more than 100k USD a year; and right now I consider that to be where things start to cap off for networking. I'd be pretty happy with $73k USD.
