If I have learned anything at all during the course of this
recession is that you have to be diverse. Organizations are
looking for individuals with a wide range of skills.
This includes CCIE's. I know a few who aren't working right
now. It's not due to there lack of skill or knowledge, it's
there limited skill set.
The story of the Cisco CCIE's will be the same as the IBM/SNA
mainframe gurus. Great in their day, useless in the future.
