"The law of supply and demand ultimately catches up, and now the computer field is somewhat over crowded."
There is a LOT of work if you have really good "Citrix" skills. If I worked 40 hours a day, I couldn't keep up with the offers for work. I just raised my billing rate 67% and I haven't lost any business. I have also accumulated 52 Citrix certs since 2004 but, other than Citrix partners who have to have them, not a single customer has asked me if I am certified (in anything).

I've been in the computer field for nearly 50 years. Before there were "certs", there was a general shortage of computer people, not to mention "experienced" people. Back then, I had friends changing jobs every 3 to 6 months to get very nice pay increases. The law of supply and demand ultimately catches up, and now the computer field is somewhat over crowded. So, you have a choice. Do you want to make more money, or do you want to enjoy your job? Titles are meaningless anyway. Studies have confirmed that most people don't consider themselves underpaid until they stop enjoying their job. In talking to friends, relatives and co-workers, the great majority would quit their job if they won the lottery or inherited a fortune.
