That is assuming a company is able to verify the Certs. My words of wisdom, don't throw all your money into Certs thinking they will get you a job. My team has 15 staff members currently. I don't know nor do I care about their Certs. It is all about production. If you get shit done and work your ass off you have all the power you could ever have. In the past I often have told management I would be telecommuting Mon-Thurs, only coming in for meetings and certain testing that required physical presence on Fridays.
Also for the record, I'm not trying to argue with Atari, I do agree with most of what he is saying. Just want to warn people that these Certs don't tow as much weight as it might appear from this forum.
Start studying now! You don't need to pay some company big bucks (which i feel 90% of them are scams) to get a piece of paper saying you know something. The only certs I have are the ones my companies have paid in full for.
Also if any of this sounds like I am gloating I want to make it clear that is not my intentions, yes I have gotten extremely lucky in life and my career, but I also generated a great deal of that luck myself through hard work and dedication. As you get older those qualities start to gain value to you and end up being a source of satisfaction. It's the American Dream after all. Work hard and play hard!

Im 100% in agreement with you. You can have 100 certs and be a slob without the ability to associate with humans, and you wont get hired.
