Post Degree Fun - Free/Low Cost Biz or IT Industry Certifications (To Do List)
#1
Hmm, I'm already pre-planning what I'd do with the two months of "free" time between when I apply to graduate and actually graduate.
I shouldn't plan that far ahead, but anyways, I like to plan things and work towards those plans until it's actually done...

Completed:
A+
Net+
FEMA PDS Cert
Six Sigma White Belt
Six Sigma Yellow Belt

Up Next (after graduation of BSBA):
Six Sigma Green Belt
Security+
CEH
CISSP
RHCSA

I might go for the free industry certs provided by small IT companies
Hurricane Electric IPv6 Cert
RackSpace Cloud U Cert
Backup Academy - Virtualization Cert

Some part of me wants to finish all the FEMA courses there are for kicks, and maybe apply to COSC for another degree.
Are there any other recommendations? For someone who may have time to complete courses.
Most of these, if not all, don't provide CEU (continuing ed units) or PDU (pro development units)

Please help me expand this list! I'd like to see some recommendations, but want to also keep the costs down.
I maybe interested in the "larger players" out there and go for their Certs, if it's cost effective and a good ROI.

From your Up next list, I see Process Improvement, Info Sec, and System Administration. I would focus on what would help the most with grad school or making your current job easier.

Why? More isn't necessarily better. I don't care that much about your education and certifications. I want to know what you actually can do for me. What projects have you completed? How much money did they make or save?
