I dunno about the rest of you, but I have had bad experience in this so called
experience stuff.
It's not always true that one with 10 years experience would be better than one
 with 3 years
experience. I think it all boils down to what kind of person are you and what d
id you do in that
years of job exposure. If you just sit down maintaining your systems for 10 yea
rs, and the other guy
with 3 years experience is working his butt off, solving problem, troubleshooti
ng and improving the
system, I would favor the 3 years one.
Personal experience I know ppl with experience more than mine that doesn't even
 know how to
configure ISDN correctly or how EIGRP works.(yeah EIGRP, don't even bother to a
sk about the
rest..and yes..they are network engineers).

Point is experience is not a measurement of how good they are, it's just a meas
ure of how long
they've been in the field, which doesn't necessarily means they are better. Of
course there are also
lots of other guys who've been in the field longer than I, with knowledge that
kept me thinking, how
the hell he can cope up with all those kowledge in his head. This is a personal
 opinion, just
wanting to share with some of you. There is no point to debate it, ppl has diff
erent opinion and I
respect that.

Scott,
One thing to keep in mind is that 3 years isn't a whole lot - experience wise (
CCIE or no CCIE).
This isn't a slap in the face or anything, just something to keep in mind.
