You miss the point. A CCIE is an education. I MAJOR EDUCATION of monumental proportions!!!
You cant fudge your way through it. It separates the men from the boys. The woman from the girls. Plain and simple. Also, just for the record, I think some people have the assumption that being a CCNP is close to a CCIE. I don't think they are anywhere in the same ballpark. BTW, I am only a CCNP, CIPT. Working on my CCIE, and I can tell you I have the utmost respect for ANYONE who has passed the lab BMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ladrach, Daniel E.

I have friends working on their CCIE's and I see the hard work they are putting in. I know this is not an easy certification to achieve. I also think every CCIE should be proud of their accomplishments. In my opinion an MBA opens more doors. I have never argued which one is better or which is harder; however, a certification should never be used in place of an education. I do believe the best candidate is probably going to have both.
