Rob, All things are relative....Many people with less experience than you have passed the CCIE. Afterall, it's tough, but it's only a test. It boils down to how much time, effort, and money you're willing to put into study. If you've got 20 hours a week to devote to lab practice, you can afford one of the highly rated training courses, and you've got the money to take the test several times, I bet that you could pass within 6 months. If you don't have access to a lab, you can only spend a couple of hours a week studying, and you can only afford one attempt a year, it may take quite some time to get your number.
