I think so too.

Working for an enterprise customer can certainly provide you with
a good background, but nothing beats working for a tier 1 part-
ner, where you get sent to do just about everything from fixing a
misconfigured 700-series router in the middle of nowhere to
designing and building multi-million networks for big customers
(depending on your level of experience, of course).

I've always read a lot, just not many books. There's tons of info
on the Net. I've collected some of that on my networking pages,
and hope to get around to updating that now that I may get more
free time. (See my signature).

I've done many labs, but mostly what I've been able to come up
with myself, based on what problems people have raised on this
list and elsewhere on the Net.

And every time you stop and think "noone with any a bit of sanity
left would ever want to do that", promise yourself that you will
try it out in your lab. It will come in handy ;-)
