I was considering the same thing! I have my CCNP and I was considering the CCIE. However, I have decided to go for my MBA, I start in the Fall. There are a lot of Cisco people out there, but there won't be a lot of Cisco and MBA (as an added bonus the MBA never expires). I will however, probably pursue added Cisco certifications as I am doing my MBA. Think of it this way. What happens if these certifications turn into the MCSE?

[7:36542] Hi all: I have a dilemma that I was wondering if I could ask your opinion on concerning CCIE status. I am a Network Admin for the cisco lab at a university. The racks of equipment in the lab is available to use for any BGP, VLAN or multicast network possible it seems like. But I'm at a point in my life where there's a fork in the road; it looks like the CCIE route or MBA route and I am leaning towards the MBA with a lower cert like CCNP. But with all this equipment and abundance of lab time here, would I be foolish not to take advantage of this situation? And suppose I do go for it and hope that I pass the big one, I'm curious what kinds of jobs are out there in this industry for someone like myself with 5 years of experience, 1-2 years of it concentrated in IT? What should I do?? Thanks.
