Re: OT- Reaching 40, choosing path

Guys I'm barely 23 and I got my number 4 months back, CCIE is not mean that
u will be happy,

you can be without this cert and u have a neat job :), I'm a CCIE without a
job and I spent around one year full time studying like the hell and now I'm
not getting any job :( so don't think that CCIE is the end of this world :D

Just my 2 cents :D
