I got my M$ certification by memorizing the past paper questions. Didn't know to code a line until I started working. The good thing is that more and more employers are slowly coming to this realization. In SL context though it really doesn't matter what degree you hold, it's all about which school you went to.

I am tired of people filling their walls with meaningless titles. I find it remarkable that those that really have done the hard work and discipline seldom "brag" about the title. THe fact is any credential means you are at a starting place in your learning, not an end. The more years spent in disciplined study, the more you discover what you really do not know. Those that know really scare me! Oh, my goodness, you have hit it on the head! I am tired of people filling their walls with meaningless titles.

Most of the people who owns these qualifications are blind I guess. As they are really really far way from the reality. I have met a lot of guys in my life who are holds good positions but they are really empty. But still nobody wants to believe this truth, that is the chaos.

I agree to each and every word of it. It's a bitter truth which nobody wants to acknowledge! I for one have a fancy Engineering degree in electronics but found my calling ultimately in Software programming. I guess i could have utilized my time much profitably by persuing something which comes to me naturally rather than wasting 4 years to get a B Tech in Engg tag...

Of that list you have only PMP is of any value at all. As for dev certs. I have met people with MS* SC* etc who cannot code anything even if their lives depended on it.
