[Jeremy D. Morris]

Sorry, I was being sarcastic.  I'm going to get my SBE cert soon.

What certification did you get? ... because now I feel motivated to finally
get mine done.

I enjoy the private companies that prefer CTS cert over SBE.  There are
quite a few in DC like that.  Fine if all you want to do is hang projectors.

I have also received a few negative comments from the
Director of Engineering at the facility where I work
with regard to SBE Certification.  According to him
"It don't mean nothing" and "its a waste of time and
money". Fortunately the local chapter provides 
encouragement to all menbers who are interested in
obtaining certification.
