Going to jump in and disagree again here Howard. And as you know I think the current industry certifications aren't worth the paper on which they have been printed: At least to those that study and pay for them.

Certifications could have value if they were perceived as being the same type of certification given to physicians, attorneys, and engineers. Instead they were created by companies as revenue sources and are intended only to add to the bottom line.

If certifications were viewed in the same light as those in other professions they would have the same value.
