Personally, I don't trust OCP, but I still go for it. Why, because it does give me some benefit. Go for OCP is one way for me to fresh my knowledge and learning something new. With OCP, I got more opportunity than other candidates who are not OCP when look for job. Current I am working for one of the TOP 2 US banks, I still remember few years ago, I got the interview opportunity partly because of my OCP status. In their recruit AD, it said must be OCP. Well, we all know working experience is most important, with OCP definitely will make things better. After all, OCP won't do you any harm.
