 That, and you can't (legally) practice medicine without being a
doctor... So everyone has the same minimal set of qualifications. In
the networking world, there are no legally required brain cells to
operate. ;)

  What is a "Dynamipper CCIE"? Someone who never touched a real hardware but
  passed CCIE Lab with 0 experience? Is that even possible?

    I'll take a dynamipper CCIE (I hate that term) over an experienced

  What would be the most people's preference? would they like to be operated

  0.5 yrs experience?
  
  Same thing with business - the BIG bang project, they won't be hiring a
  fresh CCIE to make the big bang happen! of course he'd be doing networking
  part only.
  
  I agreed with you, yes it touches mos tof the topics which u'll see in
  "CISCO" environment. but if there is something else between 2 cisco box, the
  new CCIE will be obvious don't know about them.

    Experience teaches you a lot but it leaves a lot of
    holes in you knowledge on areas you haven't worked with. The CCIE covers
    all
    bases technically and operational skills can be learned on the fly
    relatively easily meaning you can do most roles comfortably. Working on a
    helpdesk (non-TAC) with a CCIE often implies someone doesn't know their

  own

    value or didn't learn good interview skills - I wish that was taught with
    the CCIE exam...

      just to give you an idea - I know a few fresh dynamipper ccie's (R&S of
      course) and they are working as a helpdesk operator.

           Blah, blah, blah... Dude, People have been saying the same thing

      about

          devaluation for the past 11+ years since I was studying/getting/got

    my

          CCIE!
          
          Amazingly enough, there's still plenty of jobs... There still

  plenty

      of

          $$ to go with them... There is still plenty of people looking for

      CCIEs.

          Why don't some people have jobs? Because like ANY other industry

    it's

          not just about a title/piece-of-paper/number/whatever. It's about

    the

          person and their experiences that go along with the knowledge.
