The guy said the his company paid for a lot of the training along the 
way.  CCIE is a vendor cert afterall (Yes I am a CCIE, 8041).  It's not the 
cert, but experience (even for CCIE).  Having passed the lab, I now believe 
that one can get this cert with modicum of experience - something I 
woudln't have believed before I passed.

So if the company footed the bill for his training, shouldn't it be a 
two-way street?
