CCNA Routing and Switching

Hello, I was wondering if taking the time to study for and take the CCNA test is worth it? Is this a good starting point or am I getting to far ahead of myself? I want to do something along the lines of Network Engineer in the future, but I am unsure where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

If you learn the material to pass the CCNA, it will help being a network engr.

Employers are going to ask for credentials.
