This is actually a brilliant deal. If I didn't see a future with SQL server 2016 Database development and administration for myself, I would definitely take this up!!!

This is INCORRECT. I have been in IT for 24 years professionally. I have interviewed dozens of candidates for all sorts of positions. The people who have several certs are usually the worst candidates. They are typically book smart and unable to apply anything to real-world scenarios - even with experience. I tend to avoid them. Several others I keep in touch with in IT say the same thing.

I gotta agree with you to a certain extent...Having the right certs will open the door to the interview that you might want... But doesn't necessarily mean that you can apply your knowledge from the book to real life production scenarios. The projects that people are involved in or worked on in the past carries more weight than a certification you might hold.

I remember a story a friend in IT told me, he had a co-worker who had all the fancy certs and got a job working with him. Then they were troubleshooting connectivity and he told her to ping the device and she asked him what "ping" was. So yeah, you can learn all the stuff to get a cert, but it doesn't mean you know what you're doing. That being said, I'm sure if you had lots of work experience AND the cert, then it might be helpful.

I have long maintained that formal schooling's primary purpose is to teach elephants (the Herd) how to properly grasp the tail of the elephant in front of you with tour trunk.

ALL Microsoft Certs, at the very best, *may be* useful in an infrastructure that is pure Microsoft (birds of a feather). However, being so narrow in scope (content tailored to MS products), these are useless anywhere else. Notice the disdain shown above - - not one comment recommends this path.

And to add emphasis, the preponderance of web services is Linux based and the tools/background needed are entirely different.
