As one provider of certifications once told me "Certifications are for dumb managers who don't know what to ask in interviews."

Does that make them worthless well not really. If you have the skill think of it as a garnesh to make you look nice.

In an interview setting. If you equal in skills with another candidate, a cert or two might give you the edge.

That at least shows the employer that you complete things.

My .02, keep plugging at a degree. Bachelors are turning into high school diplomas. It won't do much for you, but you are expected to have it. At the moment I don't have one and I don't have problems finding work but I am still plugging away at one....
