Just another toss into the mix saying the same thing. Unless you are going for a high-level cert for a specific job function, it's not worth it. CompTIA certs are all but useless unless it's your first IT job. Even Microsoft certs are sorta meh. If you want to move into Networking, than Cisco certs can never hurt. If you are doing process analysis or want to work in the healthcare industry, then there are certain certs which can help, such as HIPPA training on the healthcare side and CISSP (or other (ISC)^2 certs) on the security systems side.

All of the above take a great deal of training and $$$ for exams, especially on the ISC^2 side. But, as was said above, experience generally trumps all.
