gee..  they all have potential. and they are all different.

but where's the microsoft certification on your list??

do what you like!  have you worked with jd edwards.  do you like it?  i've 
heard that it's
terribly complicated and i don't think that i would.  but there's good money 
for those
that do.

do you enjoy school?  want to go a couple more years?  are you looking for a 
management
job in a larger company where a masters would be important?

for coding, do you like rpg or java?  we all know that java is hyped as the 
language of
the future, but there's lots and lots of rpg code out there and it's not going 
away
anytime soon.

so find your nitch and go for it!
