i agree. that 'lab rat' bullshit has been created by cisco engineers fearful of their status/positions because nowadays anyone get reasonable proficient at cisco routing and switching - which SHOULD be the case!! I remember people (and they still do) cryin' the frickin' blues beacuse people were paper certified, and that they had no hands-on experience. Well, now that they are getting hands-on experience albeit in a lab environment (which is in some cases presents a more convoluted routing and switching environment because it allows them to set the level of complexity depending on the amount and type of lab equipment...phew - long comment) - they have the audacity to label them 'lab rats' - honestly i think these fucks expect you to be born with this knowledge!!
By all means get stuck into your lab - get your CCNP, go for the CCIE and improve your standard of living - after all that's what this is all about - don't let a bunch of narrow-minded, paranoid, tall-poppy syndrome minded dicks dictate what you should or should not do.
