I think you're more likely to find a network engineer with (possibly limited) programming skills.
That's certainly where I would categorize myself.
And you're the first I've seen suggest, or even imply, that going that direction instead might be more fruitful; seemed to me that the skills necessary to make a decent network engineer would support learning programming better than the other way round -- though in fact I personally did it the other way.
