Certification = Credibility = Accountability (this isn't my idea, this is generally how it is look at)
Think of how much you need on paper. I know a few of the guys on this mailing list who don't have any certification or degree for that matter. What they do have is years of computer ass-kicking and real world experience; which is good enough for their company. Some decide to get the paperwork to keep ahead, add to the resume, or make sure they know what others what them to know. A few will take the tests just to see if they can pass. Administrations usually like the paperwork. The more administration a company has; the more you need to be certified...look at the state jobs. :O) "So if it comes down to you and one other person, and ya'll have the same skill sets, but you have a certification or two, you might just edge him out." ray I stress this to my students. NEVER take for granted what you know from self-education. It's important to add ALL your accomplishments and skills to your resume no matter how little you think of them.
