Do you really want to put your MCSE cert on the wall or something? If you go to university and complete a 3-4 year degree - what do you get? A rolled up piece of paper (and your academic record). That's generally a lot more work, and you still get diddly-squat.

Better than a cheap cert and nice magnetic pin I have to keep away from machines anyway.
