Applies to other professions as well. When I was growing up, my Dad frequently touted the values of his Engineering certifications, and advised me to go for the certifications in my own field, which I did (and continue to do). The networking opportunities from one such certification were instrumental in securing me a new job when my wife and I relocated (her certification in her own field is now looming large in maintaining and enhancing her position as her current employer now undergoes significant restructuring).
