The journey begins...

Hey guys,

The title says it all...the journey begins! I started at a local Cisco
Networking Academy in Virginia Beach, VA receiving my CCENT & CCNA at the
age of 18. Shortly after studying and working for a Cisco gold partner I
received my CCNP and just today passing the CCIE R/S Written now 20. (figure
no better time than the present to jump start my career). This is also my
first time sending out anything on this mailing list, I have a few general
questions in order to devise a plan - any input will be much appreciated.

What study material did you use to prepare for the lab?: INE, IPExpert or
others? why was it a good choice? Did you utilize a bootcamp?

What helped you personally prepare for the lab?

What did not?

How much time did you study per day, per week etc and for how long?
Additionally, how much previous networking experience did you have?

If you failed, how long did you take until you took the exam over again?

Thanks in advance.
