My personal "senior" moment with SQL Server is anything to do with replication. I have worked as an App DBA for years and I have only worked on one replication setup. I have much more experience with clusters. Someone asks me an off-the-cuff question on the types of replication I'll find the answer in BOL.
I have had an MCT and my MCSE, MCDBA and an MCSD are still current. They were fun to pick up but the cost of maintaining them exceeds their value.
There was a time in my career that the certifications had value, but at that time money flowed through IT and spending $400 or so was not a big deal. With the budgets being tightened spending $1 200 or more on a certificationjust does not seem the best investment.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.
