value of MCSE certification in tech pubs

["Jean Richardson" <jean -at- bjrcom -dot- com>]

All --

I've recently joined an MCSE (Microsoft Certified Software Engineer)
certification study group.  After looking at this material for a while, I
began to wonder about the value of MCSE certification for technical
communicators.

I recently polled a number of recruiters and hiring managers in my area on
this topic and was *really* surprised at the reponses.   Thanks for any time
you can devote to a response.

For engineers, the Microsoft Certified Software Engineer designation seems
extremely valuable, boosting both marketability and earning potential.
However, I wonder whether this is true for technical communicators?  Are
there any MCSEs on the list?  Anyone who is aware of how MCSE certification
has impacted the careers of technical communicators?
