Let me tell you one thing, "pro" isn't about certifications, it's about years of experience (and maybe certifications). It doesn't matter how many certs you have if you've never touched a computer. It's quite unthinkable - but equally true - that some university graduates, which should be able to write complex software doesn't know java from javascript (as an example).
That's just my advise. Of course, when presenting a resume, experience in years seem to count less than certifications. But in the end, you have to decide why are you getting the job, for the sake of a fat wage, or doing something that really interests you. Chris.
