There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

What about that CCIE?
Congratulations on the new position -
OptionsNetstudent Member Posts: 1,693 ■■■□□□□□□□Well I got my A.S degree in Computer networking about 1.5 years ago. I have been working pretty solid low to mid level IT jobs for 2.5 years. I will graduate with a B.S in Data Com. at the end of this summer and I have the two certs.
A big part of it was a friend that helped me get the job. He was moving on and helped me prepare to take his spot. I couldn't thank him enough. The friend I speak of, I met on this forum and he saw how dedicated and driven I am and decided to give me a chance. So thank you steve and thank you techexams!
Most of my skills are from my current job, school, and self-study for certs. Thanks guys.
Well ya CCNP is still a big goal of mine. But CCNP isn't like a longterm goal i guess. Becoming educated and getting a meaningful career was my lifelong goal. I will definately complete CCNP when I graduate.
I am way to early in the game to speak of CCIE. One day CCIE, one day.There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1! -

Remember that you don't have to spend the entire pay increase on your home lab upgrades this year.... you can spread it out over a couple years:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -
