Scott,
does having multiple CCIEs get you paid a lot more? Maybe you are not the
greatest example because of being a network celebrity and all, but a regular
joe schmoe engineer with 2 are more CCIEs. What do you think? I personally
wanted the route/switch over voice and security because that opens you up to
other vendors equipment as well. Seems like the security and voice track
will keep you drinking the coolaide for life.
