I'm personally working towards a BSDA. I purchased the study materials in winter of 2008 but until recently, hadn't seriously thought to pursue the exam.
For me, my interest in the BSD systems has been steadily growing with the realization of how flexible they are, and how with some effort in getting past the initial learning curve(s), you can really do amazing things.
Not sure what the end result of my having the certification will be, however being from somewhat of an audio/electronics background, I am interested in being able to set up nice multimedia systems and just want to learn more about the systems anyway.
didn't decide to pursue the exam until a few months ago when my interest in the BSDs grew more and more. For me, it was the realization that with some effort, you can really harness the power of these systems.
Not sure what my own end-goal is, but I'm interested enough in all of the BSD systems to pursue the exam to be able to be proficient enough with all the systems for my own use mainly (think multimedia etc).
