Please, I would like to know too if the tests are worth the money.
Thanks Valentin. I should have looked around a little more before opening my big mouth Thanks for the links. Looks like ppl have had heated discussion on this topic. Thanks again.
Let me add by saying I'm a fan of the JCP.
Here's my scenario: I'm a graduating senior in college (CS) and I have been preparing for the Java Programmer exam. I am planning on taking the exam in the next few weeks. I've had a few people tell me that I'm wasting my time. However, I have not let them discourage me; for I feel I have learned A LOT during my preparation for the exam. Plus in the current job market I feel the certification can only help. I've been so happy with the learning that I've already picked up the SWCD book
I'm sure everyone has heard this one before. However, instead of asking everyones opinion, I'd like to hear from people whose JCP certification has helped them in their careers. Promotions? Pay increases? Confidence?
How has it helped you?
