Re[2]: Value of certification

["Michele Reinkemeyer"<mreinkemeyer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Getting certified meant a substantial raise and my employer allowing me to work
from home except one day a week (which is spent in the office).  IBM requires us
to keep so many certified individuals on staff to maintain a certain level with
them.  It took me 2 tries to pass the test  (I had never heard of an AS/400 a
year ago and what I do know is self taught for the most part, along with
resources like this list).  I'm not necessarily any the more technically capable
now that I've passed it, but if it makes the employer and IBM happy....who am I
to argue?
