From the looks of your sig, you must be really set apart! 😀

That's a pretty blanket statement...

What about the guy who's taking night classes towards his graduate degree while working full time? He'll have his degree and work experience, and you'll have your certifications and work experience. Now what?

Certifications are nothing more than diversification.

i agree with that
