I think the CCIE has just become more popular.
This time last year I was the only one studying towards CCIE where I work.
All of a sudden we have everyone in the office studying towards CCIE.
But at the end of the day, you also have to be prepared to put in the hours
and I admire the people that put in the hours, the hard work, make all the
sacrifices and get that number which I will hopefully get in a couple of
months.
