If I had to choose someone to work with, I'd take someone with tons of experience and especially a Cisco degree over a MS-style degree (Not just because it is Microsoft). Most MCSE classes and material (books) teach you how to pass the MCSE, not how to do well in the real world (Sort of like the SATs). In my Cisco classes, I learned a lot about routers and networking as whole, even more than I knew prior. Real world applications, like recovering from a lost enable password (You would not believe how many people configure a router then "forget" the enable password) are taught. Plus, once you learn one thing, it is very easy to port skills to something else. Like I can figure out most programs (especially GUIs), since they are all pretty similar to each other. - James -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of mike harrison Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2001 10:15 PM To: Sean Donelan Cc: Jake Khuon; [email protected] Subject: Re: Automated DLR conflict detection Sean said: > (can't) figure out why people want a CCIE to run their Juniper routers. Unlike MS-Something certification, CCIE certification is tough enough and practical enough that the annointed ones are often proven to be useful in any situation. Although I am an old *nix/Linux routing nutcase, I work with a young sponge that just got his CCIE and I am impressed with the foundation he has and his ability to apply it to a wide variety of equipment and scenerios. Should you find yourself driving around Chattanooga in a "stealth backhoe", even at 3am... beware of the rednecks living next door to the fiber. :) .~.
