June 2005 — Editor's note: To read part two of this two-part series, go here.
Whereas desire alone can sometimes get you a certification, wanting to be a CCIE requires ambition and determination to endure a long and arduous trek across difficult technical terrain. After all, it’s one of the most sought-after certifications in the industry. As a matter of fact, more people want to be a CCIE than want to be the president of the United States, according to some surveys (obscure as they are). In my own poll, four out of five said they would rather be a CCIE than president!
