    Much depends upon WHICH MCTS exam(s) you'll take. 

    Certification in and of itself helps verify your knowledge.  That in and of itself has value.

    I'm taking the following Application Development Foundation, Windows Forms Development, ADO.NET, Windows Communication Foundation and then an MCPD afterwards. I'm an avid developer but have a degree in an unrelated field. How will be my job prospects be in the development arena based on the Microsoft Certifications. Do companies hire based on them?
