		<description><![CDATA[I agree with both comments below - experience is usually more important than certifications. I would look to getting a job that doesn&#039;t require experience, and once you have this experience after a few years, you can look elsewhere for a job you prefer, if you still feel that way in a few years!

I also run a website that helps IT professionals improve their careers - hopefully it can help you out. It&#039;s at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.CompleteITProfessional.com&quot;&gt;http://www.CompleteITProfessional.com&lt;/a&gt;]]></description>

Experience plus certification improves marketabilty. Work in your career field, get certified, and never stop learning. I have 3 Oracle certifications plus 25 years hands on Oracle DBA experince, but gained hands on experience before pursuing certifications.]]></description>
