Typo - I don't think so!
I knew a guy who was hired by Cisco to go overseas because of his language
skills. This was just before the "BIG" Cisco layoff's started. Anyhow, he
went from zero to CCNP in a couple of months and then became a statistic.
But it went something like this. Live, breath and eat training....Throw you
into the TAC and then live, breath, and eat training. Throw you into the TAC
and then live, breath, and eat training. Kinda get the idea.
Don't take my word for it. Let me quote Michael Purcell, Quadruple CCIE
#4110
"I joined the TAC (Cisco Technical Assistance Center) straight out of
graduate school in September 1997."
"Being a TAC engineer was like trying to drink from a fire hydrant because
of all the technologies and products we were required to learn. So, after I
felt I had a handle on those ten months later, I began studying for the CCIE
lab."
"As fate would have it, I passed the Routing and Switching CCIE lab on my
one-year anniversary date with Cisco, and was an SE less than one month
later."
cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/ccie_program/spotlight.html
He only studied two months for the lab specifically he says. So much for two
years of hands on experience...... Remember when you have full-time free
training with unlimited access to ALL the equipment plus the mentoring of
in-house CCIE's how can you NOT achieve CCIE quickly.
The whole purpose of this job listed at Cisco is to become a CCIE. The only
thing they don't tell you up front is that you'll probably be paid at
$.50cent's on the dollar for what a regular CCIE earns - that's why they
want college kids is my guess. Just makes good business sense I suppose.
Instead of hiring back all those high priced and well seasoned CCIE's that
were laid off from Cisco, just quickly pump out some new one's at half
price!!!
Ring... Ring... Ring....
"Hello, this is Mary with Cisco CCIE Sales. May I help you?"
"Yah, I'd like to get the two for a dollar order please. Oh and can I get
that to go too!" :-)

CCIE# 54,783 :-(
