2. PMP Certification

Worth - $108,000

PMI's Project Management Professional is the most universally recognized certification for project managers.

This is a higher level certification and you can't take it until you can show you have at least 4,500 hours worth of project management experience. And once you get it, you've got to work hard in the field to keep it. 

Although it not an IT-specific cert, it's the one most IT project managers get, and most IT employers want.

1. PeopleSoft

Worth - $110,000

PeopleSoft provides Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS), Financial Management Solutions (FMS), Supply Chain (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM), Enterprise Performance Management software (EPM), as well as software solutions. It was acquired by Oracle in 2005. Later the founders of PeopleSoft founded a cloud competitor, Workday, and then tried to nab PeopleSoft customers away from Oracle as their contracts came up for renewal. Not every corporate customer ditched Oracle and the Oracle added 350 more PeopleSoft customers in 2011 alone.
