Joe,
I have to disagree with you here. I didn't want to reply, but I decide to. I
have my Bachelors in Engineering and part of my masters in MIS, yet I'm
still pursuing my CCIE number. A CCIE on average pays more than a CPA. I
know many a CPA who don't make as much as even I and I don't have the
number.
And regarding the law degree. I agree with you. But only for top attorneys
in the field. I have a brother who is a top corporate attorney with
prestigious law firm in the Chicago area. While he may be 3x my salary, he's
not 10x. And I'm paid pretty handsomely commensurate to my 14yrs of doing
network engineering. I'm still making more than my cousin who's also an
attorney with years of experience. And its not like super paid or nothing.
Its does help being in the NY/NJ/PA metropolitan market.
The CCIE lab is a tough exam. A little different from college and graduate
courses/programs, and yes lacking basic accounting questions but its still a
very tough exam and a worthy goal for anyone pursuing it.
