I think a more fair comparison to make is to compare the CCIE vs. a degree from a prestigious school. I agree that getting a master's from a no-name place isn't going to do much for you. Also, it should be understood that often times it is not really the point to learn something while you're at school - the real value is in meeting people and getting access to a wide range of contacts. Why is the MBA from Harvard so coveted? Because it gives you entree to perhaps the most select and powerful group of alumni in the world. Let's face it - in the business world, it's not really what you know, it's who you know. > > At other side, it is really important, for all the explanations that was > given, that you get also your BS and MS. > > > > > > > "Mic shoeps" @groupstudy.com em 18/12/2002 15:37:59 > > Favor responder a "Mic shoeps" > > Enviado Por: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > cc: > > Assunto: CCIE Vs.
