First I'd strongly advise to go for SCJP 5, since with this release many new constructs in the Java language were included (generics, annotations, enhanced for loop, enum, etc).

Then it depends what you want to do in your career. If you want to enter into enterprise programming, then I'd recommend the SCWCD and SCBCD (for this last one, I'd go for the Java Persistence API, which is the core of EJB3). If instead you are more towards mobile development, then you could go for SCMAD. I wouldn't recommend SCDJWS since there is a completely new web services model coming out with JAX-WS. Finally, if you find you would like to go into system architecture, then you can try the SCEA (however this is quite a challenge, especially if you are new to Java).

Besides the certifications, Java offers an API for nearly anything. Gaming, Monitoring (JMX), Messaging, Email, Naming services, Web Programming, you name it.

Good luck
