You would lose that "BET".
I have a BS in Computer Science, an MBA and between mid-November and New Year's in 2002, I passed all four tests for the DBA OCP. I did it because my boss "suggested" that it would be a Good Thing (TM). I consider it to have been a waste of time, because I learned next to nothing new that I could actually make use of on the job.

Congratulation on the raise.
The best I could do was to get the company to pay for the tests.

I would not let a newbie, with or without, any certificate near a DB, while pretending to be a "qualified" DBA.

I disagree because I never was a developer. I was the Unix SA when the DBA quit, so I got delegated the DBA duties because none of the developers were considered to be qualified enough (or they were smart enough to know they did not want the DBA job & the headaches that come with it).
