Somebody earlier was elaborating about some Navy School - what happens
if you get caught cheating there?
I reckon it may even lead to court-martial. Cisco will just ban you from
taking the exam. Comparing both is a bit difficult.

*Rant Start*

I really struggle to see the point of this thread.
It is such a waste of bandwidth, disk space and CPU clocks.
If somebody here wants to compare difficulty of CCIE v/s other exams -
they are on the wrong list.
Of course - there is that thing called freedom of expression and
personal opinion.
Please - get a soapbox and go to the "Speakers' corner" in Hyde Park. Or
just start a blog.
As of opinions - pardon my language - they are like the lower backside -
everybody has one.

*Rant Over*

It is a bit difficult to compare how hard it is to work, study, support
family,
very often having to send money abroad to extended family and then on
top of all - have a life and try to enjoy the journey.
On the flip side a lot of students have to work to support themselves too.

Most people here are certainly bright sparks, however we are not all the
same and certainly do not think the same way.
Some value academic knowledge, others prefer hands-on, some even collect
CCIE certifications like scalps (BD, SM, HN, etc. etc.).
Others (JB comes to mind, I am sure there others) prefer to add soft
skills to their technical side.

Comparing different careers - is like comparing apples with oranges.
I am part-time student and hopefully at some point will get an MBA,
but do not want to speculate if it will be easier or harder.
It is just a different ball-game.

Thanks

Kind regards
