CS student here. i'm already past the standard period of study so yeah that probably looks bad to employers. i'm planning to make some github projects to show i can actually build stuff, but i'm wondering if there are any cheap certs that are actually worth getting for entry level IT jobs, or if certs are mostly useless and i should just focus on projects.
since you mentioned CS and projects I'm assuming you mean the euro definition of IT, not reinstalling Excel for SusanI do DevOps/SRE/cloud whatever, the only certs worth getting in my field are CKA, AWS CSA and/or its Azure equivalent and maaaybe CCNAAWS was around 100$ and I do recommend it, the other two are pretty pricey
