This is JMO but I’ve been hiring for years and been in the biz for a long time: PMP (US) and Prince2 (UK) are the only pure project management certifications that are sought out. The others like CAPM or Project+ are generally not worth the effort and you should either spend your time working on one of the 2 above or look like a more specific technical certification.

I got my CAPM early in my career when I didn’t have enough experience for the PMP. It helped me get the job I wanted because I knew the theory- even if I didn’t have enough practice at it.

I will take back my original comment a bit.. if you are doing it for the learning, go for it. If you’re doing it for the letters, wouldn’t recommend it.

I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)
