This is why positions require experience.. companies have seen what it takes
to "pass the exam". Don't get me wrong, I've been in the exam situation, I
know it takes some time and understanding to pass these exams.. but I also
know, from personal experience in the exam situation, that it doesn't take
experience on the actual equipment.. this is why "Certification" isn't "God"
in the job hunt.. it helps, yes.. but is only one factor. When it comes
down to 2 CCNP/CCDP candidates for a job, the next place the employer will
look, is on-the-job experience..
What next? a lab for A+? a lab for every MCSE exam? a lab for Programmers?
a lab for Network+? then that would degrade the CCIE.. the lab is what sets
these people apart from the rest of the world.. a lab is not feesible.. but
maybe a few simulations within the written exams. I hear this is what
Microsoft is starting on, MMC simulations.. "complete this task".. and at
the end, you better have had a clue on what to do.
