I think they have limited usefulness, especially in getting a > job. No, I think both things; they're not mutually exclusive. I think they're bogus and not necesarily a good judge of how competent a person is, but PHBs and the like tend to need something to differentiate all the people with 4.0 GPAs; and thus tend to look at certifications. It's sorta like grades (and grade inflation). Not necesarily accurate reprentaions (read: are/can be bogus), but generally sets you apart (in a positive manner) from the rest of the crowd; and certainly not required to know how to admin a * box. - alex I thought felt your touch In my car, on my clutch But I guess it's just someone who felt a lot like I remember you. - Translator To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
