Because it is there. ;) Since I'm doing the education (Oracle Univ. training CDs) why not shoot for the exams and get the certification? I agree that actual experience is what matters most at crunch time but having things like Oracle certifications and university degrees do say something about the person. What that is I can't put into words. Probably that they value writing on parchment and updating their resumes more than they should. :p Received on Wed Sep 24 2003 - 00:20:18 CDT
