worth it to be Microsoft Office Certified?

My business teacher told me that you can have an increase pay by hour. I have been using "WORD" for awhile now, like 4years constantly. Anyone here Microsoft Office Certified? If so, what are the benefits that you have recieved?

Best part is that it will be Free. I believe the High School is paying for it, or something like that.

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I don't see the PC help board!

Please ignore my younger brother, >>2, he is a bit mentally challenged.

Do it just so you have something to put on a resume. It probably isn't worth much as far as valuable skills go though.
