For example, a person who is Oracle 8i certified is now out of date because of the release of Oracle 9i. Why would someone pay to get re-certified to keep in tune with Oracle technology? My reasoning is that people get certified and recertified because their company pays them to get certified (i.e. they already have a job). Comments welcomed, by all means.
