If you have relevant commercial experience, the MCSE can help your career.
Otherwise, it's worth slightly less than Enron shares.

MCSE is a requirement for my job. So, while it may not necessarily get you a
position, the lack of it may very well prevent you from getting the job you
want.

Also tell him that it's worth what he makes of it.

Just using it to force myself to learn parts of the products
that I would not have learned (or learned much later) has
paid me back for every bit of effort and money.

If he means "money" then many companies will give him
a 'boost' on his annual performance review (if he reminds
them and sells it). Typical is as much as 1/2 to a full point
on most 5 point enterprise review systems.

A boost in pay at hiring is possible too -- HR departments
have a table of pay ranges for each job, based on things
like "industry experience", education, certifications, etc.

The hiring manager can seldom vary your initial offer outside
this range so if HR ups the range by 1-10K for an MCSE
you stand to benefit.

Also note on Performance Reviews -- your boss might really
love your work and just need something to prove to other managers
that YOU get the higher rating/raise, as many companies force
managers to negotiate with other managers for such things.

In other words, if you are doing a louse job it wouldn't help but
if you are performing well it gives both you AND your manager
more ammunition.

I TOTALLY agree with you. My initial salary was set based on my degree and
certifications. But my later raises were a combination of additional certs
and performance.
