Useful Certifications?

Numbers Game
I am thinking about taking advantage of the education reimbursement offered by my employer. Unlike previous employers, this one doesn't limit it to degreed schooling but rather allows any sort of training or classes that are relevant to the job (with company approval). So my question is; which pieces of paper have you picked up over the years that have benefitted you the most, either on paper or in practice, or preferably both? Some things that I'm considering so far:
  • Hexagon level 2 & 3 training (thus far I've only done level 1)
  • GD & T and advanced math classes at the community college, possibly leading up to a certificate in drafting (because you can never have too much GD & T knowledge)
  • ASQ certifications of some sort
So far, the only feathers that I have in my cap are advanced certificates in machine tool & welding and a shiny piece of paper from Hexagon for level 1 completion. At this point in life and in my career I feel that a degree would be a waste of time. Three English classes, sociology, biology, etc. aren't gonna make me a better quality inspector.

  • My company asked why I don't hang my certs up. Why? isn't that gloating? If I hang that up, will it make me smarter? Does it help me program better? What about your GD&T cert. I hung it up over my screen, that didn't help at all Astonished. I have told companies that I have them, but no one has ever ask to see them. H_e_l_l, I might start telling companies I have a PhD.
