And people wonder why I don't trust certifications.
(generally) they don't teach you anything, they just teach you how to pass a test and get a pretty cert on the wall. It's even more the case when it comes to MS certs.
Hell, I'm a "certified solaris administrator" but because I never really worked on a solaris box, all the specific solaris stuff is lost on me.. Not that I couldn't find the info I needed in 5mins on the interweb. To me that's more important then a stupid piece of paper.
For that matter I was certified on Cisco routers back in the days of Cisco (1999), but haven't touched a Cisco router since.
I could find the info if I needed to, but certifications, along with other forms of credentialsim, is largely a waste of time I think. You either know what you are doing or you haven't a clue, and a stupid piece of paper proves nothing one way or another.
Alas, lesser minds do imagine there is something to the paper. ;-)
