Re: Anyone Going for v4 lab in october?

Babatunde,

Ask yourself candidly what can a CCNA earn? Ask youself the same
question about a CCNP?
Ask yourself what a CCIE Can earn? What is the difference? Is it
$10.00 or $100.00 per hour? If a CCNA can earn $5.09/hr and a CCNP can
earn $10.00/hr how much more can a CCIE earn?

Now how much does it cost to earn the CCIE and how long is it going to
take? Ask yourself how much you could bill per hour with a lower
certification if not studying and spending money on training? Ask
yourself how long will it take to recoup the investment spent and the
earnings lost from earning a CCIE certification? Is it still worth it?
You decide.
