"Road to a CCIE" article (good reading)

In case no one has read this article, it's quite interesting for those who plan to move on to a CCIE down the road. I suppose it lets you know what's in store.

[edit: moved to CCIE forums]

Great read, I skimmed through most of it. It really is a punch in the face, showing the reality of studying for the CCIE. The author has multiple CCIEs. Its funny how he mentions that while studying for the CCIE, you can't have a social life. Id wager that's true.

"However, if you ever run into a network in real life that’s designed like a CCIE lab, hunt down the person who designed it and duct-tape that person to his/her chair! Bad lab rat! Bad!"

Hum.... maybe this could be moved to the CCIE forum..... and we could gossip about this article like girls in a beauty parlor.

Ya know, Scott has failed the CCIE Voice Lab twice now. He is human!

Actually, in the IPExpert R&S COD he mentioned he has been to the Lab 8 times... and I think he passed the SP Lab with one day of study (since he had been teaching & doing the stuff). Not sure if those 2 Voice attempts were included in those 8 tries.

Does posting in a Cisco forum count as having a social life?

This is going to sound retarded but he almost made it seem simple, unintentionally. I guess it just really comes down to going in there with a positive attitude and making the best of it. Some day...
