Hi Iqbal,

The point of a Cert is really a yardstick to measure a given persons level of competence.  You learn a lot from the process, but you aren't typically equiped to hit the ground running after completing a Cert alone, hence why CISSP etc requires industry experience.

Thus, the best cert path for you, is the one that best reflects where your intrest lies, and is more likely to stimulate your natural talent.

A CertA may present you with more or less oportunities or cash than CertB but its kind of like choosing a Medical degree over a Law degree because surgeons are more in demand than barristers.

Then again, who's to say if Dr House would have made a better QC than a MD.
