I am not surprised at all. However, I do not discourage people from getting more certifications because:

1. The process of studying for certs usually bring additional level of knowledge and formal coverage of subject.

2. You may not make lots of money anymore if you hold a cert. However, a certification usually adds value to your resume. It rarely or never hurts your resume as long as you know what you are doing.

3. Trends of what employers value change from time to time. In doubt, hold as many certifications and degrees you can for a better chance.

This is pretty interesting to me especially when I'm seeing the Govt. *require* contractors and employees to carry certain certifications.

What do you guys think of this?
