Just wanted to say thank you PAJ for your comments. I am completely new to
this discussion group and like my name implies new to the field (or should I
say getting into the field). I agree with Michael in the since that
experience is number one but in todays job market getting a job in the field
in order to get the experience is almost impossible unless you have certs.
After reading many comments concerning certs dont mean anything experience
does it almost made me wonder if making my career change was the right thing
since I dont have a lot of experience yet.

The 621 has no, and will not add value to your MCDST. It's just an
upgrade exam. The only thing that can add value to your certifications
is experience. Here are the skills measured for the 70-621 exam
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-621.mspx#EKF. Review them and
be honest with yourself if you are prepared. No one but yourself can
make that determination.
What is your problem?
You seem to like putting people down.
People here are not in your 'classroom'!
People will study and take exams for whatever reason they see fit.
The official MS line may be to show proficiency in a subject they
already work with on a day-to-day basis. This is not always how it works
in the real world. I am willing to bet the vast majority of people who
study for and take MS exams do so to learn new subjects or to improve
their knowledge.
The fact is to get real-world experience they may need the certs. Yes an
employer *may* employ someone with experience over someone who has a
cert, they may not. If two equal people have little experience but one
has certs then the one with the certs stands a better chance of getting
the job. I know... not if you were the employer blah blah blah.
People may study for an MS exam to learn new subjects. To improve their
career prospects. To prove they can pass the exam. Because their
employer has asked them to.....
If you think this devalues the certifications in any way, well that is
just tough.
Telling people the only way the can add value is to gain experience is
just male bovine excrement.
Like your comments, this is all my opinion.
And thank you for sharing your opinion.
Well someone had to!
