Some of the points you make are true, hard work is always required. However, I
know people that cannot design or know where to begin to fix real network
problems. What does that say about a person that is a CCIE and cannot do the
simple things?! I am not here to bash CCIE's, I am one and I am very proud
that I get through it and I am studying for my second and third in order to set
mself apart from the pack.
Thank You
Jason
