I may be interested, but the question I have to ask is: Does anyone care if I have an LPI certification. And by anyone I mean the business/hiring world, not the world in general. I pretty sure the world as a whole does not care what certifications I may have achieved. Or put another way, Is the LPI certification respected by the IT community as a whole? How many job descriptions require it? How many employers really even know what it is? Why should I spend my time, energy and money chasing a certification that may not advance my career?
