and just an example...two awesome techies are real experts with computers, but one has all the certifications and a four year degree and the other one doesn't have shit! who would you hire now? the one without anything to show for?????

and guess what....having a degree and those certifications show that a person is not lazy and willing to study and endour four years (or 6 for a masters degree)...it shows a little something about their character compared to a person with nothing to show for....

it gets to me when people open there mouth talking about "why would you want to graduate from college and have all those certifications. just to have a paper to hang on the wall?"
He is actually right, getting certs doesn't take much skill at all, everyone has one now a days and they all think they are special for some reason..

As long as you are not a complete idiot, you can just buy some study guides/test questions/etc, spend 2 weeks studying and have a good chance of passing...

And..a college degree is not even in the same ballpark as certs, to get a 4 year degree, you need to pass perhaps 40 classes, with a cert it's really like passing one or maybe 2 classes...
