Default More schooling vs. Studying for Certs

Here is my dilemma:

I just graduated with my Bachelors in CISM. I'm currently looking for a job but in the mean time I want to make my resume look a lot better since my experience is lacking. All I have right now, experience wise, is being a Computer Tech.(my current job). My question is would it be better to

1) Go back to school and get my Networking Specialist Degree(Asso.)

or

2) Study for my certs (i.e. Network + and building up to MCSA, MCSE)

Any input is greatly appreciated

I would definitely go for the certifications, since you have a bachelor's in a computer field and some experience at your current job. Whatever spare time you have, weekends, 2 or 3 hours after work, use it to study for your certifications.

Is that a Computer Information System Management degree?
