I would agree with this, for the simple fact I hold no degrees in anything.
But I am a very quick learner, and work hard to achieve what I set out to
do. I have 20 years programming experience, and have dabbled in a lot of
languages. I have a very impressive resume, and the ability to sell my
skills.
I did think the CF certificate would make it easier to say you know CF, but
what about programming logic this is a lot harder to learn and comes from
experience. I see the Allaire Certificate for CF a waste of my time, only
because I believe in my ability to do the work and think that my work in the
industry will be enough to keep working in it.

Subject: RE: "Need your help desperately..."
With all due respect as a fellow CF developer, if you expect a certification
to get you a job, then you are cheating yourself. Show good work and stay
in the forefront and it doesn't matter who cheated and who studied for the
test. I know a few people that had to cheat the MS exams just to get their
foot in the door. Couldn't afford college, just enough money to cheat a
certification. Now they are some of the finest network admins out there.
An exam is nothing more than a review. If the piece of paper makes you more
confident... good. That's all it's truly good for.
And quite honestly, within the past year or so (disregard the years prior -
the 'static' years), I haven't met a single successful developer / designer
who didn't have any good work to show for it. But i HAVE met quite a few
'certified' unemployed 'developers'.
