I don't think $140,000 a year is that much money... which is more than most
CCIE's make.....
I was commenting on the fact that the number is over 17,000 now worldwide...
Following supply/demand, supply keeps a climbing, while demand keeps a
dropping. Not a very good position to be in.
I think the demand is hot if you are willing to work for $120,000 or less
(not a very good living anymore friend). I'll say it again, I know a lot of
people in I.T. (all areas) and BOTH husband and wife have to work their ASS
off each around $100k plus just to pay their mortgage, debt, taxes, etc.
And don't have a pot to pee in left over...
General Physicians must make a lot more around me, than down there...

Not so sure about your "highly valuable" assessment there Joe....most of
the ccie's I know make what general physicians make a year, which I
don't really consider too shabby for not needing 10 years of school and
$100k minimum in tuition...just my $0.02.

I saw that... there are still about 4,000 too many in north america for
it
to be a "highly valuable" anymore (highly valuable = pays good)
I can't wait 'til I finish security/sp and then I can go for EXCHANGE
RANGER... Now that is quite rare and valuable... ;) Maybe Oracle Master
DBA
after that!
