well. okay. i will try to be serious for one teeny second.
you have 2 options.
follow the "whats hot" lists of popular web sites. i read one recently.
they were recommending VOIP certs along with the usual suspects (MCSE
Security, CCSP e.t.c..). are they onto something? maybe. but they also
claim that MCSA's are making > 80,000, so they are definatly "on
something"!
your other option, which I really recommend, is find a technology or
product that you really enjoy working with and certify in that. be it,
Microsoft Windows server OS, Red Hat Linux, FreeBSD (yup, they just
started a cert program and they are insane for doing it) or Sony PSP OS
(if they have a cert for that!). You will find you are much more
motivated and eger to learn if you enjoy what you are doing (I always
hated and was bored to death working with MS products.)
mind you, i am not new in the industry and am not looking for a entry
level job, so take the advice with a grain of salt. but just something to
think about.

always remember. I'm here wishing you the very worst. You are an a$$."
