George, Yes, I do think it is worth it.
I only have CCNA and CCDA, but the more I get into Cisco certifications, the more I realize what amount of knowledge one gets if his goal is to acquire solid knowledge. True, the needs of industry will always change as technologies change, but these Cisco certifications build on foundational knowledge which is going to be around for quite some time. I mean, though i do not know much about networking, if one has CCIE, that person has a broad knowledge base (I hope), and he can easily adapt to changing needs in the industry. If you are able to do this thing, please do it. Many years back, I was studying with some guys and they got good jobs immediately after college while I continued toiling with books a little more. Now, even though I may never earn more than they do, I feel they envy my position (sorry!). When you have good knowledge, coupled with relevant experience, you will find your niche somehow. You can even be trainer like Pricilla Oppenheimer... there will always be diverse needs in the society.
