Doug, you hit it right on the head. I used to teach MS classes years ago
and never did I learn so much about the content then when I was teaching it.
You have to learn at a much higher level to do right by your students.

Priscilla - How did you get started as a writer? Is it profitable?
Enjoyable? Or is the time and involvement not really worth the pay off?
I'm sure you also extend your own knowledge when you write about a
topic.....I think I read a statistic that the best way to remember something
is to teach it to someone else.

What organization are you referring to?
Cisco Press is owned by Pearson Education, a huge but little known
publishing conglomerate who also owns Addison Wesley, Prentice Hall, New
Riders, Peachpit, Que, SAMS and a bunch of other imprints.
Cisco influences the Cisco Press department of Pearson Education, but
Pearson sets the rules. I'm sure they would be unhappy with one of their
authors claiming a certification that they don't have. It could be a copy
and paste error, left over from the 1st edition, if it's really not
accurate. The publisher, not the author, does the book cover copy and some
of the other fluff.

Authors write for themselves. They aren't hired. Maybe you're thinking of
tech writers who are employees of a company? Cisco Press authors certainly
aren't hired by Cisco. That's wayyyy offbase. Pearson Education pays the
royalty checks.
