You allude to an underlying point. Think about what the role of the cert serves. - To learn: maybe you're employed somewhere and you're adopting technology X going forward. This is usually helpful with little to no experience on the content. - To be employed: you want to change jobs and this will make you more marketable. It's usually helpful to acquire certs from the bigger players like AWS, Java, ITIL, many of the CompTIA certs. - To satisfy a personal desire: just cuz. There are certification "collectors". Usually folks whose employers will pay for certs.
