Look at it from a cost/benefit ratio standpoint. Will someone with this cerifification make $2000 more over her professional life than she would without? So it takes a round trip ticket and three days of vacation. Get the company to pay for it or write it off as a business expense. Good investment, easy money, instant credibility to many hiring managers. jack silvey > On 19 Jun 2002 at 4:38, Ron Rogers wrote: > > Date sent: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 04:38:18 -0800 > To: Multiple recipients of list > ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > It seems that our list has made mention in this > report from > > Searchdatabase.com.
