    Paper MCSEs

    MCSEs (or it's recently rebranded brothers) are worthless, gone are the days when the likes of Mordac get contracts based on this scrap of paper.

    Are there any certs worth having these days?

    I'd say Prince2 only.

    Primary school certificate of web site development (with additional credit for knowledge of Front Page 97).

    If it was good enough for the DTI's web site, it should be good enough for anybody.

                  Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
                  "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
                  Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."
