I have to agree that if you look at CCIE as "too much," you aren't
ready for it. CCNA, then CCNP, may be more attainable goals.
Let's say I wave a magic wand and give them a CCIE certificate--not
the knowledge. How are they going to do in the sort of job that a
CCIE would get? Believe me, even if you DID have the knowledge of a
CCIE, and were in a CCIE-level job, you can't stop learning.
Arguably, the amount of information in networking may double every 18
months or so.
I do think that CCIE is too broad and not in-depth enough, but
possibly I'm looking at that more from a designer standpoint.
Let me offer an analogy that, like all analogies, may or may not
work. There's an issue here of defining what should be in the CCIE.
In the US healthcare system, there has been a continuing debate of
whether patients should be able to self-refer to specialists. This
isn't purely a cost issue, but involves quality of care and getting
appropriate care.
There's a classic test question, where one asks the potentially
self-referring patient "assume you suddenly lost the outer half of
vision in both your eyes." What sort of specialist should you go to?
If you answered "an opthalmologist," you aren't ready to select your
specialist. Loss of vision, in the manner described, is an emergency
that needs to be seen by a neurologist or neurosurgeon.
