I got my MCSE a long time ago - back when times were great if your name had a few initials behind it. Today, I don't need or care to own any certifications because my clients/users don't ask; they know me as a solid consultant or trainer and, once you get your foot in the door, then your experience gets you through everything else.

When I was just starting out I ramped up to the MCSE as fast as I could and wow did it open doors for me. I think that, for me, the MCSE (NT 4.0) let me take that jump from Desktop Support to Network Admin (Junior as I was it was still an admin job!). I heartily recommend it for that reason...

Just wanted to add the link here to the Microsoft Certs page: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certifications.asp

Strange that it isn't an .mspx or .aspx page, eh?
