Many large enterprise organizations that needs to perform a migration/design/critsit troubleshooting often wants the best of the bests.

Better to get your degree for the same money. Even CCIE's are underpaid considering the trouble, this will end worse with $20K as the pricetag. Expect less than 5000 MCM's in the world as most companies won't spend this much on any employee. This is a plan doomed to failure, I.T. is not a rich man's career anymore. Wake up Microsoft, this will fail!!!!! Overpriced…..
