I thought I was a good network engineer also until I started my lab pursuit.

The drive it takes, the determination, and the accuracy you gain spill over
into other areas of your life. You find yourself knowing what is going to
happen... with people as well as packets. I can tell you the feeling of over
achievement is worth every minute of angst you will have.

If you haven't been passionate about your future, your life, your family,
their future, I argue it's not the CCIE that is the goal... or the number.

You are never too old to grow up, if you if you are 40 years old.

Subject: CCIE Doubts

Hi Group

I am at a crossroads. I have been in this field for over 10 years, have a
good job but am not motivated to go further. I am a CCNP, CISSP, held the
positions of consultant, Infosec Officer and currently work for a
large(global) tech company.
I had passed the CCIE written 2 years ago, made an attempt last year but was
under prepared. Since then I have attempted to pick up my studies again but
after a couple of weeks I don't continue with them.

I feel both challenged and bored at the same time, if that makes sense. The
CCIE is highly valued by my organization but the problem is I dont feel like
I want to continue on in this field. I know I'm not the only one who has
felt this way so what I am looking for is a way to kickstart myself....any
suggestions?

Thanks
