Certifications are a waste of time. You'd be better off
obtaining a Computer Science degree and focusing on the
core technologies.

If you're looking to write software, sure.  A CompSci degree won't
help you
in the slightest at operating networks.

Don't forget to tell all the kids that smoking doesn't cause cancer
either. A CompSci degree will help one inordinately to operate a
network. It is sad that so few in this field realize this.
