Having that certificate is good no doubt, but I've also seen people that have the paper, but still didn't got a job. Why? Because they don't have any skill to offer in the first place. For me, having a skill will make you better, and having more than 1 skill makes you an even better person.
Another consideration in this regard is that we can obtain certificates easily without any pressure, and we can even obtain them even if we have never attended school or college.
I don’t know how it is in other countries, but looking at the situation in my country (where I currently live), there are many people who hold academic degrees or even prestigious certificates, yet they did nothing to earn them.
Everything becomes easy when money is the ultimate standard, including the value of certificates, which makes this seem like an unfair competition for those who are serious about what they do.
However, the difference is evident when comparing certificates or academic degrees obtained through cheating with those earned through genuine effort. Even in the job market, such practices create additional barriers, where special connections or networks often become the preferred option.
