I'm looking at this issue from the non-CCIE-of-any-sort-as-yet perspective, but doesn't the security CCIE require all of the knowledge of a R/S CCIE, plus the security components? And if so, why not get the R/S CCIE first and then work on the security CCIE? In this way, you could blow right past the 1700 CCIE per month thread posted here recently with the vaunted double-CCIE. Worn out brain cells or not, don't you have to have the knowledge of a Routing & Switching CCIE to be prepared for the Security CCIE? My two cents' worth.
Would be interested in this subject as well. I'm at that point where I could go either way and have concentrated on subjects common to both CCIE R/S and CCIE Security but must commit to one path soon as it may well be I only get one shot at getting this right(for once). Security is pulling a lot of press attention but don't see the corresponding interest in the job market and what I see reflects a a lack of value of the skills(IMHO), course days are lean now and the current situation is volatile so we are looking into the future. R/S is more "fun" and perhaps more flexible but then we are in this for the money in the end. I know it would be great to do both but there are limits on my time and my worn out brain cells. Some help gurus? Fortune tellers? Ms Cleo? Wild as* guesses? All correct answers will receive a lifetime supply of bragging rights.
