I'm curious about the feelings others have toward this sort of class, especially considering the current job market. A couple of years ago if you had CCIE on your resume you were almost sure to get an outrageous salary with bonues and other killer benefits. This more than offset the cost of taking these sorts of classes.
In the current market, I've heard that if you have a job position that requires a CCIE you'll get ten applications! With the HUGE numbers of unemployed engineers--of course, depending on where you live--it is no longer a 'sure thing' that you'll even be able to find a job, let alone get those huge salaries that made everyone salivate. So, if you had to pay for something like this out of your own pocket, do you think it's worth it? Do you think a one-week class that costs over $4,000 will pay off more in the long run than spending a fraction of that on a few more routers and some books and then putting in an extra month or two of practice and study? Here in Denver the market REALLY sucks right now. Even if I pass the lab the chances of me moving to a different company--and therefore getting a better salary--are slim to none and Slim might have just left town. I guess what I'm getting at is this: do you think these types of companies are pricing themselves right out of the market based on demand figures from a couple of years ago? Or, do they seem to be operating on the premise that as long as there are people willing to pay exorbitant prices, they'll charge sky-high prices. What are your thoughts?
