Calling me "ageist" is a bit extreme. I'm not aware of any law in this country (US) that allows one to hire a 5 year old, regardless of certifications. What I am suggesting is that companies (who may or may not know the value of particular "certifications") stop putting so much emphasis on them. The fact that a 5 year old has now set the bar for the MCP, highlights that very issue. I put more value on 1-5 years of work experience than I do on the MCP.
