If it does, then I can choose to study hard these topics which will add but marginally to my expertise, or I can choose to go uncertified, or I can study hard on syslog and emacs and get blindsided not knowing what service corresponds to port 17. Naturally, some bureaucracy will arise around the certification process. There will be a committee to set the hoops through which we must all jump. We will fill out forms, and wait for cyclical processes, and pay fees, and correct the misspellings of our names, and hope it's all done for noble cause. SCSA might cast me as a servant, not a role to which I aspire.
Many people think of systems administration as a service.
I prefer to think of it as an arbitration of contending desires, with me as the arbiter. I am nobody's servant. Maybe that is a look in the wrong direction. The certification committee will consist of people who think SCSA is a good thing, otherwise they would not be on the committee. In summary, SCSA affords me no clear and obvious benefit.
