Sun Certified Enterprise Architect

After so many years, I finally got some time to take the SCEA exam. This exam had long been my dream since day one I started my IT career. People have been saying that it requires at least five years of IT work experience, or else it means nothing even certified. But just by the time I got enough experience, I decided to pursue my PhD so it had been postponed until the end of last year. To get certified as a software architect may help a bit in job hunting, but most importantly it is a recognition and satisfaction for anyone who is enthusiastic in object oriented analysis and design, or in general software engineering.
* Special thanks for the support of my wife, and all the resources and information from my best friend Felix, an SCEA too!
