I agree Kimmo, Its much like the certification of professionals. I had to get 4-5 certs just to keep my job, regardless if I knew how to do it or not. We even lost people who were fired because they could not get the certs, yet had been doing the job for a very long time. ...its a paper, nothing more to me.
