It's really up to you to convince your company one way or another.

Hi Mitch,
One thing some companies do is that they make you sign a
"compromise letter" where you assure them you'll stay working there
for n years after you get your CCIE, maybe that could give your boss
some kind of relief knowing you won't quit right away after getting
your certification. However as Joe said, if you really want it, then
you have to make a sacrifice and pay it from your own pocket. Hope
this helps.
Angel.

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
