Re: OT - After SDN, does CCIE still make senese ?

I like how INE looks at the CCIE. A CCIE isn't what makes you an expert. It
is the by-product of becoming an expert.
I know quadruple CCIE's and even non-CCIE network people, some who are into
their 50's and 60's - and even THEY are still learning (including things
like SDN). In today's world (and the future) learning is indispensible. You
will *die *in your career if you stop working (and your life will stagnate
too).

A CCIE isn't an end. It can be a means to an end. But ideally, it shouldn't
even be that: it should just be a by-product of a different journey and
end: the journey of becoming and staying an expert.
