In general, I say that if you have absolutely nothing else to do, you might as well go after some certifications. Even if you just pass a level or two, at least you’re somehow expanding your mind and learning new things. In my case, work has been pretty slow so I’ve decided to make a full-fledged effort to study for my GMAT’s right now.
