How true. It's unfortunate that what's in that spoon is so often just Pablum,
when for $1000, you're expecting at least a juicy steak. 

I suppose this doesn't really matter.  In any larger company, success doesn't 
depend on what you know. Who you know, and what they *think* you 
know makes all the difference.

So if having nice certificates from these all-day donut fests will increase 
your chances of moving up the ladder until you reach a point where you can no 
longer do any actual damage, why not take advantage of them?  (As long as 
someone else is paying.)  Besides, your company probably has a fund set aside 
for training. If you don't use it, they'll just blow it on greens fees for 
the CEO.

Irv
