what kind of credentials/prerequisites do you need to be a professional penetration tester ?

does it take more than knowing Bt4 ? are there any one that just runs a scanner and no real labor involved ?
would you be expected to be able to code your own exploits without having to dl from milw0rm and discover entry into a system by yourself, in other words, do you have to think outside the box even when there's so many tools that makes the job a lot easier ?
would you ever be expected to be able to write your own scanners, exploits and etc ?
i am also curious how people are able to write long pages of hex address, that magically causes some type of memory overflow...how are people guessing at the hex values for game hacks for instance ?
are certification important ? what about formal school education ? I am a CS major.
