There has been some recent discussion about Certifications lately. If they are worth it or not.
I finally had some first hand experience to see if these Certs were truly worth it. This summer, I finaly decided to work with somthing in Computers, Im a Computer engineering major and wanted an easy job with decent moeny. so I applied as a Pc tech at Circuit city. The pay is about $13/hr and i work about 30-40 hours per week. Most of the work is Virus removal which is great for that wage. Only bad part is my feet hurt alot from standing to much.
I went up and competed with about 5 other guys for the Job. I have a few certs. Including my A+ which they seemed rather impressed with.
I have a decent rusume and beat them all out pretty much do to those Certs.
so In the end, people might look down on Certs and say they are not worth it, But they can only help. so Go for it Guys.
