Jeez this topic is boring and so out of touch with
reality. I bet most of the complainers here are
former MCSE, CNE, ASE, A+ and all of those other
certification holders.
Your career isn't based on a certification. You
will never have a little fraternity of 5000 CCIEs
worldwide, where no one else can join the club.
Do you think lawyers or doctors write about this
crap all the time when a new class of people pass
the bar and medical board exams? Do CPAs complain
that the passing rate was 60% for their exam? Do
CEOs complain about each class that graduates from
Harvard Business school?
What you do on the job matters. If you are good,
then the money will come. If you suck, no matter
what your cert, you will be paid what you are worth.
Excel individually as a person, and stop worrying
about this crap.
