Eric -- If your teachers had not given you the answers in advance, it would not have been "a joke" and Cisco's "high standards of excellence" would have been appreciated. You say you like to be challenged and work hard, yet you actually cheated yourself by 1) allowing your teachers to pacify you; and 2) not allowing your teachers to really teach. If your teachers had REALLY taught you, they would not have had to give you the answers ..... you would have known them.

If you have some money, just buy some routers. This works really well if you know people who you can rely on for help. I don't think employers really care about the diploma. When I did the "Academy," I had several different teachers and they all gave us the answers to the exam BEFORE we took it. Not real high standards of excellence. It's a joke.
