Hi I would like to know what's the value of Sun Certifications period. I am certified as a Java Programmer, Web Component Developer and Business Component Developer. I scored above 80% on all the exams. I got certified in 2004 and 2005.
However, it's very difficult for me find a Java position. I'm currently working as a Systems-\Business Analyst\Programmer\Network Admin, but I want to focus purely on Java Development. It's seems companies refuse to offer you a position unless you have a degree. I have just registered for a BCom (Informatics) course at Unisa, hope it will help.... My question ultimately is, how worthy is a Sun Java Certification?
