There's no way a 4day boot camp crash course is going to teach you PM...Lol Those are designed to get the active 35hrs requirement and specifically prep for the cert exam. The exam is not easy and you can't just walk in and take it, you have to show some experience under your belt first. Having the PMP cert should increase your salary and project/employment prospects...if you can get it, get it! ... and watch what happens when you update your LinkedIn profile with it.
A LSS-BB is also desirable but Quality positions that pay any $ are specialized. Meaning towards software or construction etc... which also means they want an engineering degree in the field behind it. Big part of this is that most companies still don't comprehend a REAL quality role and they just associate the cost of quality as required, so for instance they'll take an engineer and put him to work in the QA aspect but at that point that engineer will more than likely just follow a pre-built checklist/procedure and not have the QA mindset/experience to truly QA/LSS the item/process/service...etc.

Either way, I think the more you prepare yourself the more opportunities you'll be ready and qualified for.
