Is the CCIE Enterprise worth it?

Hello all,

I am wondering if going for my CCIE Enterprise is worth it.

I am a network engineer with 7 years of experience as a network engineer, and more than that if you include when I was a network technician. I currently have a CCNP Enterprise (I got it when it was the CCNP RS), and a few other Cisco certs, and I am working on my CCNP Security now.

I've had the goal of getting my CCIE since I started working in networking. I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it based on some things I've read recently. Is the pay bump between a CCNP and CCIE that big? Is it worth the stress and hassle?
