What the heck does this mean, anyways? That you have money to waste? Any time I see this as part of a person's credentials, I just KNOW that the article is crap. A recent article (I won't say which) demonstrates this point. Just thought I'd get that off my chest. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Don't be so harsh, I'm an MCP, MCSE, MCABCDEFG, etc. My former company paid for all the classes, and the tests, and they required us to pass them. Some companies weigh certification in factoring raises and bonuses. But yeah, the tests are pretty easier so it's not like you know what you're talking about if you pass them.

I've been thinking about doing an MCP / MCAD / MCSD, simply because it can give me an additional bonus when looking for a new job. Keep in mind that coders might not think these are up to much, but those folks in HR don't know that...

"In meetings, the person who is least competent usually does the most talking. Talking is a direct substitute for competence, at least in the minds of other people. Five minutes after you leave a meeting, you won't remember what anyone said but you will remember who did most of the talking. Withing a day your mind will translate that into a notion that the talker was unusually knowledgeable" - Scott Adams, Dilbert and the way of the weasel

Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

sensitivity and ethnic diversity means celebrating difference, not hiding from it. - Christian GrausIT means you passed any one exam from Microsoft. That includes exams on things like how to use Frontpage. It in theory means you're on the way to a 'proper' Microsoft certification, and anyone who uses MCP I also regard as a moron, it means they passed one exam and are too dumb to keep going.

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002 -

MCP means that you "struggle to improve your career chances, but either don't have much money to spend, or are to dumb to earn more, anyway"

Oh well, guess I'll just stay in my current job of Shift Supervisor at Burger King, earning a measly $7.50 an hour. If you make $70,000 a year as a programmer working 100 hours a week, it's close to the same hourly rate. Therefore, you'll be happier flipping burgers. Marc Help!

I think I may have stumbled on the ideal way to meet women! Halfway through my class on preparing income taxes it dawned on me - what better way could I ever find to meet single, well-employed or wealthy women? They have to disclose everything to me, without the barn dancing routine of the dating scene - address, phone, age, # kids, #ex-husbands, income, investments... This could be a great Spring!:-D I'll have a full report April 15... "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)

Yes, but you would have to admit to being a tax accountant. Kiss of death! I'd rather be flipping burgers :-)

Wow! We have got some bright people in the subcontinent. I didn't know about this (these people's achievements I mean, not about bright people, which I always knew about. :-D ;P ). Thanks.
