Good thought ...

Dice.com Oracle: 5412
Dice.com OCP: 9
Oracle jobs listing OCP: 0.17%

Monster.com Oracle >5000
Monster.com OCP 17
Oracle jobs listing OCP: <0.34%

Hotjobs.com Oracle >1000
Hotjobs.com OCP 6
Oracle jobs listing OCP: <0.6%

Can't think of a better argument ... but I guess better odds than the chances of winning the lottery or being hit by a meteor.

I'm not saying it doesn't have some value. But if the person paying the dollars thinks that the value includes a better chance at a job I'd refer them to the search results above.

Others might have saved the money and found the same syntax at tahiti.oracle.com, asktom.oracle.com, psoug.org, etc.
