Certifications are good for self marketing just like a degree from a prestigious school. Does a certification mean anything? It means the person took time to study and pass a test. It shows a little dedication. A certification by itself means the individual is competent enough for an entry level job. Given enough time and rote memorization many people could pass a certification without ever actually touching the technology...the jailhouse lawyers of IT.
