What certifications would you pursue purely for utility purposes?

Simple question for the masses:

With no financial limitation, what certification/s would you pursue for your own interest or personal gain?

For me, I think I would pursue VMWare certifications. I would love to know more about virtualization technology in order to build a better pen-testing lab.

    Everything SANS + hands-on security such as OSCP, eCPPT, SecurityTube

    Hmmm - for me the big constraint is available time. When you say utility and interest - I presume you mean certifications which are done purely for hobby.

    So far - for me - I've done the ISC2, ISACA, a few SANS, and currently IAPP. But I'll probably not do any more SANS, I found the 2 SANS courses that I took a bit uninspiring.

    So assuming that I had more time, I always wanted to do:

    Cisco certs
    Microsoft developer certs
    Offensive Security certs
    Redhat certs

    But lately since I've discovered Coursera.org, I find that I prefer to take those courses - I find the content on Coursera more appealing. And I'm thinking if I had more time, I would probably get a subscription to safaribooks and just do more tech reading.

    I have pretty varied interest so staying on one track gets boring for me.
