need advice everyone
I’m currently in my second semester of a BS in Accounting & Finance, and I’ve been thinking about building some tech skills on the side. I’m especially interested in Google’s Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, and Advanced Data Analytics certificate programs on Coursera.
Now, I know you can take the courses for free if you just audit them, but you only get the certificate if you pay. I’m wondering — is it really worth paying for the certificates? Like, do employers actually care about them or is it more about the skills you pick up?
I’m trying to figure out if it makes sense to invest the money or just focus on learning and building a portfolio instead. I don’t come from a computer science background, so I’m trying to add some useful, practical skills alongside my finance degree.
Anyone here done the Google certificates? Did they actually help you land a job or internship?
