RE: Why not to use the "real ccie lab" folks

For everyone that chooses to cheat to get their CCIE, the cert itself
becomes that much closer to the value of the paper certs like the MCSE.

It was roughly about a year after I achieved my MSCE that the market started
being flooded with people that have just studied the brain dumps to get
their MCSE and the cert no longer held any value to potential employers.
All the hard work I put into studying was for not.

It is up to each of us that have passed the CCIE and are currently studying
for the CCIE to maintain the integrity. If you know of someone or hear of
some form of cheating, do not hesitate to report it to
ccie-nda-enforcement@cisco.com even if it is a friend. All they are doing
is hurting us all.

I am sure that nobody wants all their blood sweat and tears that they have
put into getting the CCIE to be for nothing. Otherwise, what is the point?

OK smart peeps,

I have a friend who is currently working on her CCNP, and keeps giving me a
hard time for not having passed the lab yet (1 failed attempt under my belt)
but I'm still hitting it hard and will be going back in another 2 moths.

Anyway, she's convinced that when she finishes her last NP test she'll just
pay the $1200 to the folks who shall remian nameless and study the "3 real
CCIE labs" and pass on the first attempt." I agree with what's been said
here so many times before, that the cert only means something if you truly
are an expert and have earned it. So let's not get everyone all wound up.

That being said, does anyone have a few stories I can share with her, that
might be helpfull in keeping her on the "HIGH ROAD". I keep trying to tell
her, she's going to pay $1200 for a couple useless old files and then what,
go to the proctor on test day and say, hey this isn't the test I was
expecting you must have made a mistake?

I'm sure there are other folks here who have fallen for it, please share
your experiences so my friend will see the light and not surrender to the
dark side...she knows who she is
