If you can quit your job and have the discipline to study, that would be a very sweet deal. If I could have done that, I probably would have. Now the thing that I will caution is that it is very easy to under estimate the CCIE Exam. I am surprised by the amount of time that I have invested at this point. In any case, I would put together a game plan and schedule and stick to it.
