Well then I will have to agree with you on all counts Patrick. You can
certainly do well sans a CCIE and it is absolutely no guarantee of financial
success.

Nor should it be a primary topic of discussion on the list. But I suppose
it's an inevitable one on a fairly regular basis since it probably is in the
top three or so for most folks, as far as why they chose to invest in this
crazy thing...

Scott, that comment wasn't directed at you specifically. It just seems
that a lot of discussion on here is about how much CCIE's earn. The
point I was trying to make is that if money is the main motivator for
someone doing a CCIE cert, it's the wrong motivator (IMO). Sure you
can expect to get a good return on your investment in time, lab gear
etc, but you don't need the cert to make good money.
