I know this isn't directly related to the studying for my IE. However, I figured you guys were the best group to ask this question since a few have you may have gone though something similar.
I'm putting together my portion of the budget for the next years department budget. I've put a CCIE bootcamp class in as well as my lab fees. My boss is pushing back on this saying that they can't justify having a CCIE on staff. He seems to have bought into the hype that CCIEs make ungodly sums of money and that he wouldn't be able to keep me on staff because he thinks I'm going to ask for $100K or more. Anyway, how can I explain that not only is it worth it to have a CCIE on staff but it behooves them to assist in paying for training. My take is that since I'm responsible for about 700 remote sites as well as the corporate office, I think that justifies it in an of itself. Thanks, Mitch
