Jonathan Fass is a well respected name. His university degree is history.

Leigh Peele is quickly becoming a well respected name. I don't know what her degree is, but I'll put money down it's not kineisiology.

I guess I'm saying it's not so much what you've done to get it, but what your doing to improve it. If you get the cert and don't pursue further knowledge, you're a has-been before you even landed your first contract.

None of the top names got there by certs alone. However, this is true of any profession.
