The IT Certs That No Longer Pay Extra
snydeq writes "Overall employment in tech is improving, but the certs you could once count on for a job or extra pay are losing their value, InfoWorld reports. 'Businesses no longer value what are increasingly considered standard skills, and instead are putting their money both into a new set of emerging specialties and into hybrid technology/business roles.'"

AC, you have a promising career in Management ahead of you!
Any insufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.
