I have only been in this business for 5 years as a network engineer but, the main thing that I have noticed that keeps people around in companies is their certifications. The more of those you have the more likely the company will keep you. Perfect example was when the tech market crashed the company I work for layed off more than half of the network engineers, those that are still around either are really good at kissing ass or have those coveted certs.
