I want to write about all the posts that use the words "real" CCIE. I hope we can beat this into the ground and never speak of it again.
1.) I think people should spend more time on technical issues and career opportunities and less on putting people into categories. "Yes, I have less Cisco experience than most people on this list, oh my god crucify me now!" Lesson: Everyone starts knowing nothing. 2.) I have been working on Cisco certifications since 1999 and I frequently spend a month studying for a single test, while it took me a month to get my MCSE and a month for my CNE. I also only spent about $1,000 on those certifications and at least 8k on Cisco study materials. I also read alot about how the CCIE is devalued, because of the new one day format. You have less time and cover the same material that sounds harder to me. Lesson: It isn't easy and it isn't cheap. 3.) Jobs only want someone with experience, but how do you get it? I didn't get lucky enough to end up in a job where I got Cisco experience early in my career. Lesson: No matter how smart you are, luck had something to do with your success today.
