Random Resume/Credential Builders

I was reading through another thread and it interested me in knowing what random licenses, certifications, etc... the rest of the board has acquired to pad your resume with.
Along with that, any suggested cheap licenses that can be acquired that could assist one in the future regarding jobs or investments? Maybe a Real Estate License?
I am in a technical field with an endless list of certifications one can acquire regarding databases, programming languages, installations, and so on. I have paced myself and acquired 4 in my first 10 months since starting my career. I want to add a random license or certification to my resume that may benefit me financially down the road. It does not have to be tied to a specific field either

CPA, CIA, Local Chapter of the State Society of CPA's (Committee member too), AICPA, Registered Federal Tax Preparer (have never prepared/signed a tax return- only registered), Board Member for a small not for profit.
Most of these are hold-overs from when I was an auditor. I need to get into a trade group for my current industry job. The best part of any of these has been getting to meet awesome people in my peer group. I definitely recommend getting involved with any type of professional organization you can, not just for future professional opportunities- it is always great getting to know people who are in your same career regardless.

ITIL seems to be big these days. Just finished the foundation cert last week.

Want to get the CGMA soon, I think I already qualify.
Suffice it to say I'm in the accounting field.

I have no knowledge of the ITIL except what I just briefed over no Wikipedia. What can you apply your foundation certification towards?

Do you have any suggestions for a certification/license for someone not in your field that would be attainable and not overly expensive? My criteria would fall along the lines of 1-2 months of prep and $0-$300 for exam

Why not look at some free courses through Wharton? That has to have some credibility.
