Personally, I favour the idea of "punching above your weight" and getting certified in something just beyond what you're expecting to be doing in the near future. That way you'll get some good training outside of your comfort zone, and it helps to overcome the problem of the technology passing by your certs. For example, if you're a Windows programmer, get an MSCE. If you're a Windows sys admin, get an MCSD. Just a thought. As I mentioned on your part I post, much depends on what the certification is.
