And "watch them drool" ? I think you are sadly mistaken about how well
valued the CCIE exam truly is.
Who would <big isp> hire? A recent CCIE with <2 years of actual
experience with the stuff or an experienced engineer with no certs yet
also worked on the original building blocks of ARPANET?
Aside from the VAR/Consultant business, don't expect a CCIE cert to get
you more than a closer look when a business has to sort through a ton of
resumes. Proven experience and knowledge get you the jobs, a 4 letter
acronym will not.
