MSCE BS (Score 1)

This whole thread is utterly futile. For one thing.. look at the scope of the test. The MSCE is designed, optimally, for people already working in the field. First -Go to any book store and pick up any book (I have a preference for Exam Cram) and it will tell you who the test is aimed for. You'll see that the optimum candidate is someone that has at least a couple of years of experience in the field. Next - there's the age old distinction between theory and application. I don't care who you are and in what field you practice.. if you're a psychologist or a surgeon that has had nothing but theory (book learning..etc) I'm not going to want you either in my head nor rooting round in my carcass. Ohm and by the by there IS a lot to be said about actually liking what your doing.. as a previous poster pointed out. Next - how much of this argument is really centered round the fact that jobs are being outsourced (which they are) and less to do with the adequacy of the certs. Let's face it all... the employers out there are getting pickier. Just having a cert wont cut it because it's only theory... not application .. not job experience. People out there are getting picker because there's simply less demand, so please leave all this elitistic "MSCE isn't worth anything" talk of of it. It's not very useful at all.
