[QUOTE="wht93gted, post: 12772715, member: 137363"] I've only worked at a single software company since college. Started here as an intern, and because I was kicking ass and taking names, they hired me full-time (8.5 years ago). That said; with what I see here, certificates get you customer support jobs (on the software side of things), which are the worst jobs on the planet. I hate dealing with customers. It's a nightmare. When something makes it through support, and gets into engineering where I have to deal with it, or talk with the customer, I'd rather lick the floor of a restroom at Giants stadium on game day. However, the Microsoft ones (MCITP or MCTS) are still the holy grail IMO. You can land plenty of IT or IS jobs as system admins with one of those. We have a huge IT dept here and most of those people are certified in specific areas for specific things; unix admins, win admins, domain admins, voip admins, etc.. Virtualization is huge right now, and there're some certs in that. With the amount of virtual technology I see on a daily basis, that's def something to consider. [/QUOTE]
