I can tell you that from a corporate perspective - if you are a certified IT what-cha-ma-call-it - you can forget finding any of these positions.

In fact, out of the 15 people I know who went through the PMP program and have their certification, 15 of them are now unemployed. The corporations simply look at that as an added expense. So they are willing to can the PMP Project Manager for someone to come in and do the same.

Additionally, since most of the people who have gone before us did not know what they were doing, A+, MCP, and many of the other certifications are layoff targets. Not only because of the poor performance, but also because with the certifications, you can require more money. And with that - your first in line for unemployment.
