Crazy CCIE bootcamp

Are we doing it wrong by studying and working?
A friend sent this to me. It looks hardcore! I wish I can quit my job and just study for the test like these guys.

Bootcamps can be useful providing you know your stuff going in. They are of value to people who need dedicated time for a week or two to do nothing but racktime.

looks like a dynamips bootcamp too

That would be nice to have that much time to focus on nothing else.

damn ... i need to lock in like this. i was thinking about taking a month off without pay when i'm ready to prepare for the lab.

if i was at the point i thought i was ready, i have three months long service leave ready and waiting

At the same time why would you want to pay to go and sit on the floor ?

I have more comfort at home, different if there was equipment there to use.

The only reason i would go to a camp like that is if there were others i could communicate with, my biggest issue is finding people i can talk with.

As i am not in the industry, most people i meet have a CCNA at most, the few ccnp's i have encounters (lets just say they made a fast exit when i started to ask questions)

My dream would be to meet someone who lives not to far away and is into networks (addicted)
Also to meet up chat, labs and so on.

I gotta agree with you Sirsamon, I wouldnt fancy paying to sit on the floor and sleep 18 to a room either, I didnt see many images of any tutors - just a bunch of guys sitting self-study. Just a pity you werent still in Scotland -we could've bounced off each other. unfortuantely we are are about as far apart in the world as could be.....

I think bootcamps have a place - especially in the CCIE - I've read about *************, I will probably end up doing one of those later this year ( time and money dependent).

The name of that bootcamp company got removed I presume for a reason. Might be wise to avoid them.

just spoke to an old coworker of mine and he had mentioned he went to one of those bootcamps in India. He highly recommended it, wouldn't have gotten to where he is now without doing it. He is now some network engineer at a small shop but makes good money.

I would love to do it to but family/work is preventing me to do it. His situation was much more forgiving though, he was single at the time and paid it up front in savings so he had it made for him and picked the right time to do it. I wish I would have done what he did instead of doing it now that I have a family. Oh well, live and learn..
