I must respectively disagree.  The exam is just an entrance 
requirement.  The real pride and sense of accomplishment comes from what 
one does every day, with the license and in other areas of ones life.  
If we limit ourselves in feeling pride in the way that some government 
organization or other person measures our progress, we are truly 
limiting ourselves.  It is the path that each of us chooses, both when 
someone is watching and when others are not watching, that we should be 
proud of.

Now, go out there, talk up the joys of code and others will follow.
