After dealing with some IT recruiters, I wonder if they were used car
dealers who got fired for being too sleazy...

Headhunters will try to make you believe anything...
Let's say a guy that has worked for the phone company or a large global
enterprise for 15 years decides one day to go get the CCIE. He studies for a
while, and passes the written, studies for a while longer and passses the
lab.
The same say he passes his lab, some kid who has a total of 6 months
exposure to cisco equipment, but has nothing but time on his hands for
practice, and is sharp as a tack, takes and passes the lab as well.
Now, let's say the both passed the lab last week. Both are new CCIE's with a
current numbers (7000 series).
The guy with the 15 years of industry experience could surely pull down more
than $85K, maybe twice that at some places, while the other kid could
probably pull down $100 right outta the shute.
If this recruiter doesn't think his clients will touch 'em because of the
new number, then he either:
1. sucks at his job
2. is lying about this
3. is just an idiot
It could be some combination of any or all of the three...
