SPI Certificate: Good or Bad? Guarantee or Uncertain?

So a month ago, i got a letter in the mail and this is what i got:

I feel happy that i passed but at the same time, i wonder, will this certificate guarantee me a job? Uh..not really. I may sound less optimistic here but i'm just being a realist. I realize that experience matters most in life rather than a piece of paper or diploma/certificate that tells you "you're the man" for the job. A person can know all the principals components of Ultrasound Technology but can that person really scan? The point i'm trying to make is, i hope i'm not that type of person---knows a lot, but can't do a lot. I rather be booksmart and "scan-smart" at the same time, which is why i want to scan as much as possible so i can get a job eventually.

But then you got the "haters" or the "jealous ones" that get threatened when you try to become the "master" of scanning. And what do these poeple do? They slow you down, and man...they have been distracting me since day one. Dood...relax! I'm just trying to get my career started and its not like i'm saying "i'm better than you" (although i am because i know more than you do--sorry for being cocky), its more like me trying to become successful. Dah well...what can you do right? Keep moving forward and never look back...that's my motto for this fall!

And then now, i got to take my license ECHO exam so i can be ellegible to work as an ECHO sonographer. But truth is, a lot of places are looking for experience. SMH. I got a feeling that i'll be jobless within the next two years so what i'm i going to be doing during that time? Only time will tell i guess. But one thing i'm certain with is my scanning abilities. So if any employers are reading this, you better consider picking me because i'm the type of tech that gets the job done completely. And i know a lot of experienced techs out there but they don't know WTF their doing or looking at! And that's my word!

But enough of the hostility...i know passing the SPI is a doorway opportunity to become ARDMS elligible and since i have a B.S. degree in a particular discipline, i have the upper hand. I feel content where i am now but at the same time, i'm concerned about me getting a job in the future.
