experience is far more important than the OCP and degrees. In a tight market there are 
multiple people with experience and degrees. 

To be fair, experience is more important than skill. Employers often assume that 
someoen with alot of experience has alot of skill. We have all worked with people with 
10-15 years of experience who have opened a book in years and still use things from a 
decade ago.

If you can't get through the screeners that say... oh, you have X amount of qualifications... that prices you out of our range in these hard times, how can you market?  Honestly, this is more than just rhetoric... HOW can you market yourself when you look bad to the bottom line?

and how do you market yourself when you don't have a degree or OCP, just a lot of experience.  that's IF you can get through the screeners.  my pet peeve is not being given credit for the hard work i put in to keep up with all the latest changes even is i don't have a degree or OCP.  hell i still have a brain and i know how to use it.
