With regards to your question below. We have quite a few CCIE's in our
office. One of them has a Masters Degree, MCSE, A+, CNE, and a host of
others. Decided to go for CCIE, whilst doing mainly server work 9-5(ish).
Still manages to keep up a reasonable social life, just starts reading the
books and getting in to the work lab whenever possible.
Annoyingly, within 10 months managed to pass written and lab, both on first
attempt (wasn't even close).
There are always people who like to say "Ah yes but you can't replace
experience" and I must admit I'm usually one of them, but in this case, he
frequently seems to out perform other CCIE's, although he classes himself as
an inexperienced CCIE.
I would say in general that the experience is invaluable, but a lot of
people would kill for a job with so much free time to study hard and still
have a life.
I'd be quite happy to go into a new job as an inexperienced CCIE and then
gain the experience with the benefit of the theoretical knowledge behind me.
Horses fo courses I think. If you can cram it all in, so it's available
later, all well and good. With me it needs fixing firmly in place as I go
along.
Whatever's best for you.
Good Luck, whichever path you choose.
