DUDE are you KIDDING!!
Focus on the doctor gig. I doubt there are a lot of CCIEs that break 500k,
and there are a shitload of doctors that do, and those are freaking
internists, not neuro surgeons, or heart surgeons. I had a spine procedure
done, my doc charges 30k per procedure. That's a good hours work :) Then
again, depending if we elect a democrat, doctors might not be making as much
money in the coming years :) It's coming time in the USA to start regulating
the racket.
Bottom line, do what you like, but if your looking for money and prestige,
be a doc. It's hard to find a good network engineer, but even harder to find
a good doc. Good docs get rich.
