Michael,
Depends on the answer to the following: What is your goal in passing the
exam. If it is purely to pass for the sake of passing then take a holiday
and study like crazy. I hope that your answer though would be to gain
knowledge about this Industry we work in, in which case I would advise stay
working FT and study after hours. The things you learn on the job (no matter
how trivial) will stand you in good stead for the exam.

Subject: OT: Not enough time to study
Sorry for the OT but I know there are other ccie-to-be's
that have wondered
this same thing... looking for opinions from my peers and
hopefully hear some
advice from experience.
Ive been a network engineer working with cisco products for
6 years.
If one's goal is simply to pass the ccie lab exam would it
be more helpful
to:
1) Stay working 60hours/week at your job that allows only
trivial exposure to
routing/switching and wastes your time doing other
mind-numbing IT tasks or
2) Work PT and spend much more of your time and energy
working thru practice
labs and scenarios on your home lab or renting rack time
Goal here is not to pay bills or play it safe in this job
market.... but to
pass this thing
michael
