I completely agree.... I want to know as much as possible about MS Sql server, and the exams are certainly a good way to test that knowledge...

Maybe for marketability and to increase my confidence in a subject area... Someday I hope to consult, and the more tools the better.

It seems perhaps that my problem isnt with overall motivation, but perhaps with the "not enough hours in a day" scenario... lately I feel as though I havent enough brain power left to make exam prep worth while...

So I suppose that any road will in fact land me where ever I want to go, until I decide where that is...
