Why is everyone so hot to get "certified?"

[toddsevans]

I'm just curious. I am learning VFP because I happened to get a project at work that needs it but I don't see all that much opportunity beyond what I am doing now.

I've been looking at learning the language as something I must do for this job. Don't get me wrong I think n FoxPro is a good tool. I just don't see many job opportunities as a VFP programmer.

Am I looking in the wrong places? If so what would you suggest?

Your question...

Why is everyone so hot to get "certified?"

If this forum attracted 4 threads (including this) in year 2004, 2 in year 2003, 3 in year 2002, and 4 in year 2000.. I do not know what to say on your topic header.

Certification is a unified measure to identify if a person is capable of what and what.. SO if a world of novice has to buy a service from some one, certification is a way to identify that we buy the correct quality.

I agree, my topic was off the mark. The point I was trying to make was that there may be some other certifications that would have more career value or at least wider application in the industry.

As I said, I'm just looking for opinions.
