RE: Re[2]: Value of certification

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I received a CDP cert several years ago, I think it was pretty worthless.
When prospective clients see the designation on my business card, some ask
but still seem less than impressed, my MBA has proven much more valuable and
also much tougher to complete.
