as always, Priscilla, your insight is welcome and valuable. I, for one, can
not imagine much better advice.

Hey Chuck,
I encourage you to keep learning how things really work, even if you don't
need it for CCIE. I encourage you keep on your path toward CCIE also, even
though it's frustrating. The two together will make you a superb network
architect.
I think CCIE focuses on the training needed to be a network support
engineer. I see in your future a more varied career, with a lot of network
design, protocol analysis, protocol design, technical writing, network
architecture, sales, etc. thrown in. All that stuff is much for fun than
network support for some of us anyway! ;-)
May I also recommend a new certification program. Check out the Network
Analysis Expert (NAX) program from WildPackets here:
