Re: Multi-CCIE/CCDE or Master Degree in Network

Hi Abduallah,

If after obtaining 1+ CCIE, your time and money allows for only one masters
certificate, I would recommend you go for an MBA and not a masters in
networking.
A few years ago, I found it intriguing to see that most CCIE authors had an
MBA. I couldn't see the link. But I do now.

I personally don't know what new thing to learn in a Masters Networking
programme. I am presently nurturing 2 of such people in my team towards
obtaining their CCNP. Granted, they graduated from leading universities in
the UK, but I was not the least impressed with their understanding of
computer networking or technical know-how.

IMHO, a CCIE + MBA would however benefit you fully as a person and in your
professional career.

My 2 cents!
