Ok, I've been following this thread for a while and I have a stupid question. How is a CCIE certification comparable to an MBA? I guess I don't understand this because I am in the military and am not exposed to the environment where this would be relevant. It seems to me that an individual who has an MBA is the office/sit at a desk type of person, whereas an individual with a CCIE is neck-deep in technology and getting their hands dirty. Am I off-base here? I sure don't want to offend anyone with my ignorance of the subject.
I am actively persuing my CCIE certification having earned my CCNP yesterday! I am also 5 classes away from finishing my Bachelor's degree. I would be interested to know if I need both the MBA and the CCIE, because I definitely plan on earning the CCIE.

I had my MBA classes sponsored at my previous 2 employers. I'm sure my current one will do it too, but it just doesn't feel right to ask for it in such economy. Our stock is OK but the environment is not very encouraging. Anyway back to my CCIE quest for now!

My employer at the time was a major brokerage firm. My current employer ( a telco ) offers a similar program. It can take one a long time, doing it this way - night classes.
