First of all, I want to desire you a happy new year and I hope all your dreams come true.
I have much ambition for the year of 2008 and I will try to achieve all or almost all the following objectives:
· Finish my BI master degree classes
(http://www.mestradosiad.blogspot.com/)
· Take Microsoft BI tools certification
(http://www.microsoft.com/sql/solutions/bi/default.mspx )
· Take IETLS English Exam
(http://www.britishcouncil.org/portugal-exames-ingles-ielts.htm )
· Take TDWI certification directly in Amsterdam or Munique conferences
(http://www.sigs-datacom.de/sd/tdwi/conferences/2008/index.htm )
The main purpose of these objectives is preparing my bags to start a new adventure outside Portugal. Currently I have some good offers to leave Portugal but I decided to wait a few more time, because I’m enjoying my current job and my master BI degree.
We cannot waste the chances the life give us, and in my case I accepted the offer to go to England to finish my degree and the offer to work in a European Commission (Milan-Italy), because I felt that if I not accepted that offers the life wouldn’t grant me others.
So… we must dream, help the others and have much ambition!!
ALL GOOD FOR YOU!

I have some concerns here:
1) About Microsoft BI Certification, Sql Server 2008 will released very soon in next half of 2008. I was afraid that we require an upgrade exam soon after the certification.
2) How about TDWI Certification. How can this add value to our career ?
Wish You All The Success In Your Life...
Cheerio Pedro.
Dear Subhash,
I understand your concerns and let me tell you that microsoft certification is currently a minimum requirement to get a good job. For example is a minimum requirement to be accepted in european commission (Brussels, Milan, Luxemburg... ok... I know there is the SQL 2008.. but you only have the exams for this version in 2009... and the differents between SQL 2005 and 2008 for BI tools are minimal not compared for example with visual basic 6.0 to visual basic Net.
And for TDWI in european is also recognized for almost BI companies and has good course contents and good teachers! The last conference in Amesterdam (Nov2007) persons as Larissa Moss or Ralph Kimball speeched there! They are the gurus of business intelligence...
and the main objective is not to get the certification paper but learn and study more... and until the last day of our lives we will be learning and study!
Cheers!!
