In my opinion there is a tremendous shortage of qualified DBAs for MySQL. The certification may establish that you have at least a baseline of knowledge. If you're looking for a job, you could hardly go wrong with it, IMO. Take a look at one person's perspective: http://mysqldatabaseadministration.blogspot.com/2008/01/mysql-dumped-oracle-loaded-whose-fault.html And then, http://mysqldatabaseadministration.blogspot.com/2008/02/fotolog-seeks-mysql-dba.html I think those are the doors you can expect to open.
