I will probably get yelled at for this one but...
I am a CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, and yes going after the CCIE.
So up front I am not against certs.
I am becoming aware of more and more people becoming
Cisco certified and not know enough to go and actually
do the work. Our company has and is interviewing for
network folks, I have the opportunity to interview
these people to verify technical experience. I have
had CCNA, CCNP, and yes even CCIE written folks who
could not tell me what they 'should' acutally know.
This scares me because I am also working hard toward
my certs and the CCIE. But it has been proven and is
showing up more that these people are becoming "paper"
Cisco folks, as in the paper MCSE.
I know and hope the CCIE LAB and title will remain as
difficult if not more so in the future. I for one do
not want to spend a year of my life gaining the CCIE
title to be one among thousands who also have it.
That is my insite and hope Cisco will
try to make it more difficult to obtain the CCNP/DP
and not become another MCSE program.
