One of the big issues with certs though is that back in the day they were required in order to get discounting from some of the box companies out there like Compaq and their ASE cert. A non-ASE certified techie that touched the box and busted it would void the deal (that's if a Compaq ever found out, and usually just applied to servers). Then Dell changed all that, but then came out with their own certification program. Go figure. Certs are over rated in my opinion. It's nice to have them if you work for the government, have the time to take the tests for them, etc. As for BB coming out with the Certs, I'm sure it will be hot the first year or two, but quickly fade just like the others. Anyone ever walk around wearing their CNE pins when attending tech shows? LOL... :) Just another great marketing ploy like MS did with the whole MSE, MCDBA, MSCSD, etc. Some of my best engineers are not certified because their too busy to sit there and take the tests.
