Maybe this says it all :)

$rating = 0;

if (certfication == good verification of current skills)
$rating += 2;

if (study for verification helps to improve skills)
$rating += 5;

if (you cound gain one or two new customers because of certification)
$rating += 2;

if ($rating > 2)
// Get certified or at least study for it, it's worth the money
else
// Don't bother to get certified

Nice work :)

It's all down to how you want to spend your time - if you can get work
without being certified, then keep working. If the work dries up and you
have the spare money, go for it - it might help, it might not. I'm wary of
software companies selling certification in their own software - I've yet to
be convinced any of the microsoft certifications are worth anything :-P
