Certification Magazine, working in conjunction with several industry partners, has created this survey to gauge the financial impact of certification and experience on IT professionals. Litchfield Research, an independent research firm, is collecting the data.

Please answer the following questions as completely as possible. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your confidential response will be compiled and reported in our annual Salary Survey in the December 2008 issue of Certification Magazine. All IT professionals who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing for one of three $100 American Express gift certificates.
