That sucks...I also am in that kinda boat, I spent 6 years in a computer operations management position and know my stuff where a computer is concerned, but it seems like everyone is asking for a cert. In the years that I was hiring technicians and such, I found that people that were not certified were better qualified for the job and knew more, than the ones who were (Book smart does not mean computer literate). I therefore had not found a reason to go take a test. Today I find out that I was eliminated from a great job due to not being certified...ARGHHHH you would figure that real world experience would count for something. Anyhow I am eager to hear resonses to your question, as I suppose I need to get certified.
