The natural evolution is employers pooling their recruiting criteria to not have a single company bare the burden. Then they outsource it, and you end up with private entities managing the qualification tests, and you're back to a system where you pay to get through the door.

We already have that for instance with employers requiring MS certification to be sysadmin with the full salary.

Hm, I’ve actually had good luck with specializing in Linux. Windows is a given, sure, but any time I’ve interviewed they glanced over my Windows experience and wanted to talk Red Hat.
