Without reading it, it's misleading.

Almost every salary survey I've ever read implies that people with 2-year
college degrees (Hi!) make less than those with only a high school education
in IT. There's a logical explanation for this, however. The vast majority
of those with only a HS degree went directly into IT in the late 70's to
early 80's and have been working for decades. Of course they're going to be
making more, the 2-year degrees are only comparatively recent in nature in
regards to IT.

I suspect the same thing applies here. Those who have been working forever
in IT really don't need to get certified. Generally only entry-level people
are encouraged to get certification (ironic, eh?).

Skewing the results of statistics is an art form.

I should get certified in it.

Or maybe a PhD in it.
