I personally find it discouraging that there seems to
be such a barrier in place for entry level. I'm not
sure if a few senior guys are trying to keep their
rates up by discouraging people from getting into the
field or if it is truly difficult.
I would like to know from the senior guys how they got
started. I would especially appreciate comments from
fellow MCSEs or CNEs that switched to Cisco.
Thanks,
Kevin
