Just a thought

I have a question to ask and it has been on my mind for a while now. I remember a while back when people used to go straight for the CCIE and I was wondering if people still did it today? I have been reading around, and a lot of people have been talking about going through the CCNP route just to have something to show for studying it because everyone doesn't make it through as a CCIE. Is that the only real logic. Is it an unwritten rule against studying and mastering CCNP topics without taking the test and then study for the CCIE?

Ugh I do that all the time, it sucks. "Boy I should really take some initiative to study for the CISSP this weekend... but I'd rather work on an abstract 80 page paper for SANS instead." I have an awful time staying focused which is why I load balance like three certs at a time.

LOL...I can imagine. I heard that the SANS Gold paper was no joke. After this endeavor, I will attempt a SANS challenge or 2.

My percentage is 87% without taking this test. I'm 2 seconds for saying forget about it until a later term..lol. I'm so serious though..
