Certification
I personally do believe in Certification. I was working for a large Telecoms company in the Technical Training department and I was told that I needed to get Cisco Certified and run internal data courses. I attended an ICND course and passed my CCNA and within a year a attended all four CCNP courses and also passed my CCNP certification.
Apart from the peices of paper, I did gain a lot from the practical training and it gave me a thirst for more. I have maintained my certifications and also keep myself updated in areas I need to. It sometimes gives customers confidence when you tell them you are certified.
That said, the certification needs to be backed up by practical experience!!
