Good question been mulling it over since 9-11-01. It really hasnt been easy to be honest, but I am ajusting and moving on now. CCIE is a break from the rest of the certs out there, you must really want to do this the rest of your life. Sounds simplistic Im sure but I'm in it for the money only to a certain point after that its just sheer enjoyment. Lots of ways to make money out there, not so many to do what you really enjoy. When I got into this field no one called you a geek they just looked at you with awe, wonder, and a strange puzzled look on their faces but then I'm 6 foot+, 225lbs, ex-football player type. Ahh for the good ole days...

[7:24549] Man O Man. I'm finding it super-tough to stay motivated with all of this super-duper-heavy-geeky CCIE studying that I have to do. How do you guys keep your mind focused and your eyes straight ahead? I find it really easy to answer my phone on a friday night and talk to my buddies, next thing you know i'm at the local pub forgetting my name. I've got soo many books to ready, and soo man labs that I want to do. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't even close to being visable and it's tough. Can anyone help? btw, anyone used any audio tapes/cd's to listen to cisco type stuff during the commute to work? I was thinking about doing something like that but I think hearing my own voice speak would be enough to drive me insane. Any thoughtS?
