Is it worth it?

Hi guys,
I don't see a discussion group for MCITP here, think this one is the closest
to it. I currently hold these certifications:

1. MCP: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment
2. MCTS: Windows Vista Configuration

I'm thinking to get hold of the following certifications:

1. MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician
2. MCITP: Enterprise Administrator on Windows Server 2008
3. MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator
4. MCSE Messaging on Windows 2003

Is it worth it to go for both Enterprise Support Technician and Enterprise
Administrator certifications?

If I'm going for Enterprise Administrator and Enterprise Messaging
Administrator, which covers Windows 2008 and Exchange 2007 respectively, is
it worth it to go for MCSE Messaging on Windows 2003?

I've also passed my CCNA exam, which I'm thinking to upgrade to CCNP. Not
working at the minute... Thinking towards finishing up all these
certifications before I find myself a job... Please suggest keeping in mind
that I won't be getting any pay rise for going step by step for each of the
planned certifications. It's money outta pocket...

Looking forward to hear from you.

All depends on what systems your employer (or prospective employer)
uses. If they use Windows Server 2003, then the 2008 stuff won't matter
much to them. And the same vice-versa.
