    Do your CCIE and come back to me.

    And for what it’s worth, I did my BSc.Eng in Electrical too.

      You’re not much of an engineer if you can’t see how fallacious your argument is.

      The same way memorizing all the SCPI commands of your oscilloscope doesn’t make you an engineer.

        That’s actually one of the reasons I didn’t like it. It focuses almost entirely on Cisco router/switch/whatever else setup and gives only minimal background on the actual theory behind networking. That wouldn’t be so bad if this wasn’t the extent of my engineering undergrad experience with networking. We didn’t even technically get the certification because apparently netacad doesn’t count despite being the same content
