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.

Now I work half time making a quarter of what CCIE is worth. It is winter vacation now. I went to see a recruiting agent today in Boston. They were confused about my situation. I managed to tell them I want to work for a hospital's IT/networking, because that will look good in my medical school application. Now I am home and I can't decide which way I want to go - becoming a doctor or a network engineer. My title right now is software engineer, but I am more like a network engineer. 2 months before I got the number, my girlfriend dumped me. I used my girl friend's last name when I applied for the green card. So, her last name became my legal last name. She couldn't stand the stress when all I talked about was CCIE lab for more than 2 years spending lots of money and still couldn't tell her
how certain I was about passing the exam. Now, I am 33, and I am a
college freshman. I got straight A's in science classes. I just went to school to withdraw from the university. It is a top 200 school (in the US) but given my grade I could transfer to top a 100 school.
