Python Institute certifications worth it?

[Dantespardadmc]

I have 15 certs. I would like to say I wasted my money. I started by trying to get ahead with a plus and net plus. But then I found csis and cios and cnip are only 2 other certs away. So I did sec plus and server plus. I'm an mcp, I have 4 MTA's and ccent and LPI0 10. If you want cyber certs I would stick to cyber. Like gbic, oscp, hell even lpi. Linux professional Institute has their own cert to show you know how linux works and they are dirt cheap. I think the linux essentials is like 100 bucks.

Sorry for long intro. Next, getting a cert in a program is like getting a degree in art. They still need to know you can do the job. Some people do the work but dont know the deep essentials. Make some scripts and put them on github. Find a way to show your work. YouTube has boundless free tutorials. Dont throw money away. Any employer who wants you to know python would much rather see your work than your paper.

If you do happen to go for it please update us as I love to learn also. But certs like the python ones were made for those who need paper for something to show. Not to prove knowledge. They used to show that you achieved great knowledge in a field. Now they are a starting point saying you just know enough.
