I was reminded of this article of yours just yesterday during a job interview. It was suggested that I “check out” three different certifications. While these all seem valuable each and of themselves, each one is time consuming and expensive. It’s expensive just to collect the study materials! It’s not even possible to evaluate the redundancies among all the similar certificates. I believe what is missing is some sort of hierarchy. I’d like to believe that completing my LARE will achieve some sort of terminal certification or credibility, but alas…
Is this just the price we pay for joining a field that encompasses so many subjects? The penance for all this beautiful diversity in our work and in our colleagues?
