Are you serious? What are you talking about? If the job title says
"looking for a CCIE", and there are plenty of these, then it means they want
a CCIE. Any big Cisco shop makes use of a CCIE because it is stamp that says
you are a networking pro. On top of that, a CCIE saves that Cisco shop a lot
of money by working for that company. Its guys like you that are pretenders:
that wish they could be a CCIE but can't even come close. You are full of
degrees and certifications like MCSE and CNE but you are paper champions
until you pass the CCIE lab exam. Only when you get the CCIE will you be on
the top in your mind and others'!
