i disagree that they are crap.
in the employers eyes, they are often important.
consider that your first step to getting hired is often through HR and not the manager of your position.
they look for things like certs because its easy to distinguish.
A+ may be outdated and really basic, but its still the industry standard.
my advice is A+ is a piece of crap to learn, so just pay $20 and buy a braindump of the exam questions. buy the brain dump, spend a week memorizing it, pass the exam.
i wouldnt recommend the same for microsoft or cisco, because when you get interviews for those types of jobs you MUST be competent.
they will smell a bullshitter a mile away. however with A+ 90% of it is a outdated and irrelevant anyway.
dont waste your time and money studying 1000 pages in a textbook to pass that exam.
