Four to six years ago I would have highly agreed with your friend in saying that the CCIE is much more difficult to obtain than most if not all degrees.
However, with the developments over the recent years and popularity of the CCIE it has been commoditized. This cert use to be of a nature that represented a greater value and higher standard for those of us in this industry. I am not speaking for everyone. I have not ran across a CCIE (with the exception of a very few) in the past three to four years that could hold their ground "at equal rate"; as Socrates would put it. I can only imagine the extent of backlash of comments from people on this list. I encourage all those who wish to pursue the CCIE whether it be for their own personal reasons or for the monetary value. There is a great deal of credibility to obtaining a CCIE cert but it has become much easier to obtain in recent years. If I have offended anyone for my comments I wish to extend my apologies now as it was not my intent to do so.
