I'm not sure which certs you're referring to "not special" because CCIE is really a good accomplishment (just FYI on cost; the lab portion is something like $1200+ to take it. The written is $350, 2 days of hotel, and at a fail rate of 80%).

This is what I see for someone's that's 33.
1) Know your career path and understand what jobs you are able to get.
2) Need to know your own strengths; meaning resume is solid and able to apply to jobs you like.
3) Content with what you have or know how to chase after them.

I generally do not suggest someone doing schooling UNLESS you have a passion / gifted in trades / health care.
MBA is something in your late 30s (already 3-6 yrs of management experience).

In your case, I suggest getting as MUCH experience as possible. Experience = opportunities. Education of any MS certs, Citrix, Cisco, HPE etc ain't going to get you any jobs / through the door. It's your experiences that will.
