Hi Everyone,

A recent article in Certification Magazine spells
out the value of certification IT professionals and article provides
some detailed insight on the state of the economy and what it means to
IT professionals. A few of the key findings (among many) by
Certification Magazine:

• Even in
  this tough economy, IT worker salaries grew at about 9%.
• Many respondents reported that they received raises after
  earning a new certification.
• Many people
  reported that they had earned one or two new credentials within the last
  year.
• Salaries for more entry-level
  certifications was stagnant over the last year or so.

I encourage you to take a look at the article. It is very
encouraging to see that companies and individuals still recognize and
value the hard work that goes in to getting certified.

Thank you,
