Nothing speaks validation like recognition, and I want to encourage them to continue getting educated..so they make the company more money and they get bigger bonuses. I'm sorry Ken that no one has encouraged you on your road to IT Stardom. That's an impressive list of credentials.. I hope to add that many initials to the end of my name, must have taken you a tremendous amount of time, you should be really proud of those accomplishments. I should really listen to you more often.

Do you really want to put your MCSE cert on the wall or something? If you go to university and complete a 3-4 year degree - what do you get? A rolled up piece of paper (and your academic record). That's generally a lot more work, and you still get diddly-squat.

Better than a cheap cert and nice magnetic pin I have to keep away from machines anyway.
