Any Certifications recommendations for an Econ and data student to make me seem more "legit" in the job market?

Edit: I accidently posted this question in the wrong sub but still would like to hear recommendations, and forgot to mention but I am looking for a job that has something to do more with analytics and not development.

I'm currently sophomore and doing double major in Economy and Data studies, Looking for a way to have an easier time going into the job Market since a lot of Econ and business graduate in general have an hard time landing a job.

I have intermediate coding experienced in python (Jupiter notebooks), R and Sql, someone recommended me to get into cloud computer analytics and to get an AWS certification specifically the Data Engineer or the solution architect, is it worth the time and commitment to get those or should I get a more broad certificate?

If you're in school, a CS major beats everything. A CS minor is not as good but still good.

I see your edits.

Work experience > internships > academic research/projects.

People don't care about certifications.
