RE: Which CCIE track next

Wireless is a good choice. Better choice would be a 'mobility' CCIE or something, related to several things like mobile core environments and securing smartphones and stuff :) Wireless is a good track! Large demand for those guys!

SP is always good when you are working for SP's. As Paul said, the thoughts behind SP networks help you in today's datacenter, much better than the enterprise scope of the R&S.

Lol, a very interesting discussion. I would suggest skipping R&S and looking at a less generic track. Voice, security, or wireless ... IMO.

For me, wireless is the best choice... You can not wire the future and experts are always hard to find ... 5 billion new devices in the next 5 years? Yes we need wireless experts!

Wireless and SP go together IMO... ;) and all the major providers are converging the two ...

HTH and have a good week!
