Regan,

We like to get our people certified in a wide range of disciplines.  We're 
consultants, and the "wall of fame" looks very impressive
to potential customers.   Also, it's good for morale.  we like to keep our 
folks as current as is reasonably possible.  The
certifications are an indication of whether our education efforts are fruitful.

I've also worked at a place that was the complete opposite.  They never paid 
for, and in some cases discouraged continuing
education.  It seemed like he was afraid if they knew too much, they would be 
more apt to move on.  Pretty short sighted IMO.

I would get certified in as many things as I could, if for no other reason than 
that it looks good on a resume.   If your company
doesn't care, so be it, but if you have the time and the knowhow, why not?

regards,

Rick
