This is a decision that you should make from the heart. Worry less about the money, and more about whether network engineering is something that interests you. If you're a bit tired of what you've been doing for the last 10-15 years, then consider making the change. If you do it because it's something that you _want_ to do, then you remain in control of whether or not it is foolish.
FWIW, my impression is that Cisco skills are very valuable. I know that KPMG, the company I work for, is doing a lot to ramp up in that area. My guess is that you could make comparable money.
