That might work for developer jobs, but I know that pretty near every
*decent* looking sysadmin job in Alaska is listing two or three certs as
/required/. And all the security related ones (which look the most fun)
usually want Security+, CISSP, and one other weird one which I'm
forgetting at the moment.
Unless, of course, you just want to become another Microsoft/Cisco
lackey. There's a lot of small-medium businesses even in Alaska who will
pay you low wages to babysit their AD and do the usual torturous Windows
help desk support, without necessarily having a MS certification.
