It all depends on what you want to do. If you want to work with databases, get a database certification. If you want to develop applications, get a developer certification. If you want to work in systems or network admin, get an admin certification.

After studying for the length of time you aready have, you should have a feel for what you like best. The best cert would be in the aspect of computers that you enjoy most, as the best job would be in that vein. If you don't like your work, what's the point?

Azzam,
If you just want to know which cert is most valuable, it is probably the high level CISCO certifications. The low level certs(like I have) are getting devalued.

I was writing my own ticket before the bubble burst, but now everybody (near DC)wants you to have security clearance. Take any job that will get you TS/SCI clearance, then you will have it made.

I don't think non-US Citizens can get TS/SCI clearance, can they?

That's correct, but exceptions can possibly be made if they are a high level scientist and the US govt wants them bad enough, they would be recruited.
