    Everybody giving all these first year engineering books. Real engineers cry when they’re doing their CCNA certification.

        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.

          Memorizing endless arcane trivia that changes every six months is a parlor trick, not engineering.

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

      I actually did study for the CCNA and was primed to certify. I decided not to go that route and found myself in a Java class a couple years later. I now don’t use either of those things.
