And if this CCIE really believed that the lab exam was DESIGNED to
emulate real-world examples, then there's probably a good reason he/she
is in management right now....
Sometimes you wonder how far people can open their minds before their
brains fall out.

Subject: CCIE: FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I interviewed recently for a sr. networking position and mentioned to
the interviewing manager, in passing, that I will be taking my ccie lab
soon. His response got me thinking and wondered what your thoughts are.
This is exacltly his response:
"Guys these days pass ccie depending on what test they get. ccie is
rediculous these days since the scenarios and questions asked are
non-real life and no good practicing engineer will ever use the methods
stipulated in the test" And then he goes on to say: "If you tune you
ears to groupstudy.com and pay attention to some of the rediculous
questions and scenarios being posed, then maybe you have a chance of
passing". Guess what? This guy is a ccie himself with a number in the
3000s. By the way, I didn't piss him off for him to say these things,
he actually was very impressed with my years of experience and
educational background.
It has gotten me thinking and quite frustrated at the thought of this
certification being branded as "ridiculous" by the same employers we are
trying to prove that we have top notch certification.
