When you have an 'I Hate My Job' day, try this out:
On
your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the
thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson
& Johnson. Be
very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw
the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change
into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the
package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table
or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.
Now, for the fun part...
Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times,'I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson &Johnson.'
Oh man, can you imagine the advert for that job in the employment section?
And, I just have to say that even if it is sanitized, I really don't want a rectal thermometer that has been 'personally tested' by someone else, thank you.

In my opinion, most certifications (i.e. Microsoft, A+, etc.) are useless pieces of paper that, at most, show somebody spent some time scanning through books or sample tests and can regurgitate answers to questions that might appear on a "certification" exam.
Hands-on industry experience is far more valuable and useful in the real world. It proves (1) that you indeed possess sufficient knowledge of a given topic/technology, and, (2) if you are confronted with a problem or situation in which you lack expertise, you are resourceful enough to obtain (whether it be via colleagues, reading manuals, conducting web research, calling vendor support, etc.) the information necessary to arrive at an effective solution.
