Re: OT: Why do about 4000+ CCIEs of 25,000 CCIE's...

Many people do not want to play the games these company's play. The certs
have become a money making branch of the company. They are constantly
changing the cert titles and adding a million tests. Cisco is being to
sound like Microsoft. Microsoft certs have lost their respect years ago
and Cisco is heading that way too.
If you know your stuff ... you know your stuff........... with or without a
piece of paper. Certs are just a foot in the door.

My 2cents.
