RE: Certification??

Eric, 

I would add to that also ANY of the ICCP certificates...(CSP,CDP,SSP,
xyz,abc...whatever they're calling it this week to make to take a new test
or pay them some buck$ to convert).

Frankly, I think that the ICCP failed the industry by fragmenting it with
all the different test certs years ago...  Unlike the bean counters who
have the CPA...when you have a CPA, you have met a
standard...unfortunately, there is no standard in the IS industry..

Frankly, my MBA's gotten me into more doors...:)
