All joking aside, I think this is the key point, and something that a lot of people miss. I do know, partially from private email, that there are a substantial number of people that lose track of the relevance of academic (not necessarily ATTENDING college or getting degrees) material and focus completely on certification. A couple of personal observations: I have no interest in getting into top corporate management, but I have and will be in senior technology management. nrf, it seems, distinguishes simply between management and non-management. In Cisco's case, I'd have no interest in John Chambers' job, but I might in Christine Hemrick's -- a former colleague at GTE. Much of the drive for certification (and indeed degrees) is getting into the door for the first job. While, admittedly, I am having some fun with certain people, I'm deadly serious that some of the more formal technical skills need to be understood if you stay technical but move out of support. >or discusing >whether BS is SUPERIOROR ccie .
