Which is why a growing number of them are leaving the industry. Without naming names (I want to respect their privacy), I can now count in double figures the number of CCIE's who have left the field for othe work. Some have gone back to being UNIX admins, which is what they had been doing before they got into networks. Some are in graduate school. Some have finished graduate school and are in entirely different fields - strategy consulting, Wall Street, etc. I know one who became a real-estate agent. Invariably they all say the same thing, which is that while networks are interesting, they gotta do what they gotta do to pay the bills, and if networks aren't going to butter their bread, they have to find something that will. And in some cases, they butter their bread with Lurpak. The guy who's a real-estate agent now makes several times more than he ever made as a network guy even during the dotcom boom.
