I don't really know a whole lot about the computer field, but from what I've read and from what Duki's told me, the Cisco Certified InterNetworking Expert (CCIE) seems to be the most sought after title from hiring managers.

What do you think?

I'm "other" because I'm not certified for any of that but I wanted to participate anyway. Lol.

I have a friend that is already employed for a job like that and she just graduated from high school this year (yesterday actually). I think she's just certified in a few basic classes at my school like VB and Java.

I voted CCIE as well.
And my second choice would be RHCE.
IMHO, if you have these two certifications, you can pretty much write your own paycheck.

CCIE. I hope to attain this one day
It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

I voted CCIE, but it really comes down to experience...

Also, programming certs (like for Java, VB, etc...) are worthless, and A+ are a dime a dozen. CCIE, MCSE, and RHCE (and maybe, just maybe, CCSP) are probably the only ones of any great value on the list.
