I've noticed something interesting about certifications. At least on forums I come across when Googling things in the Microsoft space, people with certs tend to add them to their signature, along with their little MVP badge. e.g. Jon Williams MCTS, MCPD, MSCE, MVP As if it lends their post more credence. I have two degrees, and ~15 years experience in the industry , but I don't sign off with B.Sc, B.Sc(Hons), M.Sc 15 Years Experience It adds no value...In my opinion, it's a negative indicator. Some of the best programmers I have ever worked with did not have any degrees or certifications, they got the job on the strength of their interview and ability to think.
