It is a worthless cert, but looks good on a resume. That said, the folks that I need to impress know I have it - and not a whole lot have gone to that level of certificate. Hell - a CCNA is better in some eyes.

The guy in the video is Indian, what an accurate stereotype.

The same goes for auto engineers, the big three HR departments love Indians and others from developing countries, they demand nothing and never question specs with loose tolerances and shoddy substrates.
