No the Market is not that low, its California let alone LA. The average
CCIE's I know are around 140-150k CCNP 90K+ Hell I know a CCNA right now
who just got his cert come in at 70K. It's expensive out here on the
WestCoast so I hope who ever does move this direction gets a reasonable
salarly or hourly rate with $4.30 for a gallon of gas at the cheapest gas
station and $4 for a loaf of bread.
