In many businesses, certifications seem to play a decent part in job placement and salary. The sea of certifications can leave one wondering which tests are worth taking.
Time and effort can be commented, although the knowledge is really needed whether the cert is achieved or not. One of the larger factors I can think of is price.. is it really worth plunking down $100-200 for A+ certification if hardware and support isn't the desired end?
So... what certs do people have, why? What have they found them useful for? What are people shooting for, or does it even matter as much as advertised? What kind of certification track might be of interest to a security professional?
