Why do I see most of the people complaining about certs the same ones who don't have them.
A bit harsh, but you have a point. There's also the school of "I have one, so it can't possibly be any use." And I can't possibly comment on that without offending someone.
The certs and degrees show that you can complete something and that you have the ambition to work on something.
Not sure I agree. A degree is usually 3-4 years work. A cert might be sometimes,, but it might be a week's work on top of a several years of experience. -- David Harley CISSP (No, I'm not going to apologise for this again...)
