I have to agree more with lua point of view and with Steve. In our market (Jax), potential employees aren't even being considered for Sr. potitions unless they have a MCDBA. Personally, I learned quite a bit and it was a quite humbling experience to do my MCDBA.

An MCDBA certification is only effective though when combined with experience.
