CERTS don's mean JOBS, no matter it's scjp, scwcd, ocp, mcsd, ... period.
some ppl think having some certs can beat guys without them in job market or work, but in reality, they find it's not true, then they come back and blame certs

Is 'IT' a good choice as a career for new comers?
even if you have a CS degree,a few certs and 2/3 yrs of commercial experience and still can't get a job,what does this mean?
---------------------------------
How do you expect to gain experience without a job??
Don't forget people who claim to have 4/5 years experience got into "IT", when the times were good
and IT jobs were no problem.These days many experienced people are struggling to either keep their present jobs or find a new one.
The million dollar question which still remains unanswered is
"Is 'IT' a good choice as a career for new comers?"
BTW I am one of those lucky ones who got into IT 5 years ago!
