Hi all:
I originally decided to pursue this certification because a job I interviewed for required a working knowledge of EJB. I didn't get the job, so I thought having the SCBCD cert would have given me the edge. I have been preparing for the SCBCD exam for nearly 2 months. Being a relative newbie, I have difficulty understanding the pros and cons that have been presented here, with cons being much more numerous. Does this cert hold any value at all? Have I been wasting my time? I truly want to make it in this field but the information overload has been overwhelming. Will I be able to find a job if I hold the
SCJP, SCWCD and SCBCD? My time, money and energy resources are limited, and I don't want to waste them. I am about a week away from taking the exam. Any overwhelming reason I shouldn't? Or shold I take it because I'm so close anyway?
Please add anything else that may be of value. Please remember that I'm a newbie. My knowledge of EJB comes from HF-EJB and the spec. Any discussion of issues that don't assume a basic knowledge will not be of benefit to me. If necessary, please explain these issues in terms that a newbie like me can understand.
Thanks for you input.
