I’ve been asked in the past why I have never bothered to pursue any Microtosft Certification. This article about a 10-year-old Pakistani girl who is the youngest to receive such a cert pretty much sums up my reasons. If a non-professional 10-year-old can get it - as can many teenagers still in high school - what value can it possibly hold for someone with more than 10 years in the business? I’d rather use my money for other things.
