SCEA certification - will we discuss?

Some time ago, I described my experience and my feeling of passing two Sanders' SCJP and SCBCD certificates - habrahabr.ru/blogs/java/84405 . In this topic there will not be a word about my experience of passing the SCEA - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Certified_Enterprise_Architect - a Java architect exam, as I’m just going to take it.

However, if there is someone else here who is going to take it, or may have already passed it, I suggest discussing it. The meaning and prospects of delivery, unnecessary Ponte / useful thing, too expensive and long / tolerant, who both prepared and handed over, and who this certificate came in handy (or turned out to be a useless piece of paper for CSV).

This is essentially my experiment for topics of this format. Is it possible to arrange a discussion of this kind in the topic and make it useful? If we collect here some useful experience, I will summarize it in the body of the topic for the edification of descendants .
