I’m lookijg into some courses, I know I can get most of them for free but I was thinking about certification too, is it worthy? Does someone cares about coursers certifications from coursers?

It’s a thing because my income is not in dolar so it gets more expensive to me

    Worth it, as in will it help you get a job?

    I think that answer would be dependent on your local work culture and what sort of jobs you’re applying for. I could see it possibly helping to get an entry-level job where I am, but would not be a substitute for any sort of school degree.

      Kinda, getting into tech field, I’m already doing collage so yeah, it’s just to be an extra on my resume, mostly I’m trying to learn just to learn, but sometimes it’s useful a certification right?

      I think some companies here will only care if the certification is from some knowed company, like Google, IBM, Microsoft etc

        Personally, I would not bother with Coursera in your situation. If you are already going to college, I would focus on that. Get internships or apprenticeships if that is something students in your area do. Join school clubs and projects related to your field of study. Get good grades. Go to your teacher’s open office hours for help and to get to know them; they could be a great network for finding future jobs.

            If you just want to learn for the sake of learning, sure, it’s a fine approach. You will probably find some Coursera classes are better than others.
