I don't know if I will ever reach the CIO position, however, I know that a
Master's Degree will only help be a better engineer.
I don't know where I read this but "Certification can get you the job,
College education will get you a future". However, this is not a guarantee
as we all know that there're not guarantees in this field.
One thing I know for sure is that I don't want to be 50 or 55 and still
worrying about renewing my IE or any other certification.
