Good word. I had to use a dictionary.

You might want to consider snippage as well.

I agree up to a point. The problem with the "worthiness" of the MCSE is
in the perception of prospective employers. It doesn't have the respect
those who really worked for it deserved simply because so many have not
and have demonstrated their idiocy so spectacularly.

In addition, in order to obtain the cert you have to learn all sorts of
useless information, like how to make server a router. I have my MCSE
but if I had it to do over again, I'd skip it. I'd read the important
part of books that explain how (and where) to use Windows in the real
world and supplement with studying linux, cisco, and other
technologies that smart companies really use to accomplish routing,
webservices, etc. In fact, that's what I do now.

So, yeah, learning has great value. It just should be directed at
learning things that will prove valuable to you down the road.
