The market conditions are really depressing right now but that does not mean that people give up their dreams and stop working towards them . If you look at all the certifications like CNE and MCSE they all had their better days and anyone who had them was king but not anymore .That is the certification market for you . Every certification has a life and it is upto the Company to give its certification a longer life by making it more and more difficult and I guess Cisco has done a commendable job on that for the past 8 years but I think what cisco needs right now is more people using thier products out their in the market so that they don't get crushed by the competition . So with that said , teh CCIE might still be able to get you in a lot of positions and then its upto you .
