While it's simple for someone to tag MCSE, CCNA, RHCE, and all those fancy certs to his signature and have no clue, I think if an engineer can get certified in a certain field, psychologically, it improves his ability to perform his duties, allowing him to exude confidence, skill and know-how, even when he may not know 100%. And if he didn't pass, tough luck, a few days of sobbing, beers, some females and a ton of knowledge in the brain. Isn't that all that really counts. Taking a cert and failing it, is a lot better than not reading it at all. However, flaunt the certs only if you think you are good at what you do/know. Else, gain more experience (or a few more certs), and then put them out on display. > > >> >> Thanks for your insighful recommendations Wire >> very lucid too >> I'm curious tho what you mean when you say they "do not count" are >> you referring to count as in - help someone acquire the necessary >> expetise count as in - the ability to get those jobs >> or count as in - being able to get any substantial matter out of >> them ? >> >> Henry >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Lunghabo James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Sent: 10 03 2004 4:56 AM >> Subject: Re: lug_: To certify or not to ..... >> >> >> >> Henry >> >> Certification is the way to go.
