What Certifications are Valuable in Today's IT?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-letters-to-stick-behind-your-name dept.

ganjadude asks: "I am a twenty-something who took the CCNA classes back in 2001. College at the time was not an option, so I am mainly self-taught in the field. I was wondering if there were others on Slashdot who took this route, and what certifications they have found will best further their careers. Does college matter in the security field anymore, or are certifications the way to go?" What certifications would you recommend as the most pertinent in today's IT market?

    Is that clicking on the 'never come back' checkbox before clicking 'go away'?

    ...seem to prefer certification of residency in India or China. And they're willing to pay accordingly.
