Took the words right out of my mouth.  In my personal and humble
opinion, the best "certification" that SAGE could develop would be one
based on college degrees.  All other professions start with some form
of bachelor's degree, whether they eventually require separate
certification, licensing, apprenticeships, or what have you.  Why
not systems administration?
