Weird off topic question but wanted group input.

 

Definitely value the CCIE after clawing my way to it in 2004 (deep in my
recert studies at the moment in fact) and love the technical piece of that.

 

Having scaled that mountain I am now working on an MBA with a career goal of
becoming a CIO.

 

My personal opinion is that having both the business (MBA) and technical
(CCIE) background is a unique and killer combination for a role like that.
What are YOUR thoughts? Benefit, drawback, or neither?
