The main perception of a certification was an official recognition which the person was a master in that particular discipline. I also remember when I certified as a
MCSE- being a Microsoft Certified system Engineer was the Ultimate Goal, I believed.
Obviously, there not any more is a MCSE certification. Nearly the same time, I obtained my master degree. A technical associate complimented me, just saying obtaining a masters degree is for an entire life, however a technical certification was not. I was shocked, as during those times I considered my earning possibility was instantly boosted more by the
Microsoft certification.
