I'm not saying that Certs can't be valuable, but experience matters more. If one is dead set on a Cert, then choose one carefully, and concentrate the rest of your effort on getting experience.
In 18 years of IT in multiple industries here's what I've seen. Every cert possessing network admin.\engineer\etc. has been an incompetent moron. This is not an exaggeration. The best of the best I've worked with have had no certifications and are just hands-on experience guys (one didn't even have a college degree).
I've reached the point in my career that if a Cert is mandatory, I won't even pursue it. I have no trouble getting good jobs...
