PhD vs CCIE

Just had a little chat about this with Ronnie. I think this is where the
UK/European degree system is slightly better than the USA one - cost wise. We
can do BSc, MSc, PhD by part time / evening and many other ways and one of our
best universities is the Open University where you can do the course by
correspondence and/or attend modules. You dont have to sit in a class all
day.

Where I find a degree/masters/PhD comes in handy is in times like now - ie a
recession. Employers tend to raise the goalposts qualifications wise for jobs
and whereas two years ago - pre-recession they would have accepted a diploma
with a CCIE now they want a BSc or MSc with a CCIE.
