Also it gave me a confidence boost and made me hungry for more. Lots of people say skip them and just jump right in but I disagree. They are worth the trouble. (And if nothing else gives you something to talk about in an interview. Don't have experience? Well I worked hard and earned these certs, this is how I did it and this is why I would be avaluable asset to your company.)
