i just got a certification in SCJP and SCWCD. I want to know what are the opportunities out there for me. I heard rumors that people with programming experience and certification are favored in some oversea MSC scholarship opportunities to study courses like information system , computer science or Software Engineering i need confirmation on this. I also need a job badly. I am currently working as a contract J2EE tutor in AfriHUB but i need a more chalanging job. pls ur ideas are welcome (brightoibe@yahoo.com-08068482628)

You need experience (on the job training) to match your certifications, so go for it

wrong time to ask. you ask before you do the exam.

Rule number 1 of effectiveness: Begin with the end in mind. why do an exam if you dont know what to do with it?

write out in simple english why you did the exam and then go after that thing that you wanted. Guru Status and recognition? skills? a Job? the certificate?

whatever, chase it now.

in essence, answer your own question.
