Go CCIE Go!! - A Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert

Good morning all,
Given the apparent interest in this thread, I thought I would pass along an article I read recently about certifications and pay.
The article was published here: http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/edu/2008/060208ed1.html?page=1
The link below is the actual study by Foote Partners that is referenced in the above article. In it, you will find that CCIE is one of the best certifications in terms of percentage drop is salary during the first quarter of 2008. In fact, according to this study, network technologies in general are pretty good skill to maintain.

I don’t know about all of you, but I am personally relieved to know that all the years of study, prep and late nights will only result in about a 2% drop in salary!!!
Mike
