I think you'll find that a certification doesn't get you as much as you might hope. All it says is that you memorized a book; it doesn't speak anything about how you apply that knowledge to solving real-world problems. If you've got no experience, it can help a resume, but I'm personally inclined to "penalize" a resume that lists certifications too prominently, as it indicates a focus on the wrong thing. cheers, barneyb On 8/1/06, PETER SHEATS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sounds like a fun option. > > I'm not really holding my breath.
