Allow me to add a wrinkle to this discussion. I have a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from a prestigious university, albeit from many years ago. Doesn't count for squat. In the 1990s, various groups initiated Certifications for a variety of reasons. Business and industry has grabbed hold of these certifications and treats them with higher regard than university degrees. Our public universities have a mixed record of dealing with these certificate programs. To their credit, the for-profit schools have recognized certifications as a profit center. If you have some certifications, add to them. Work the progression schedules within their programs. Cisco is a particularly attractive set of certifications. I say all of this with the absolute conviction that certifications are fraudulent and only prove that people can take tests.
