I’m starting my certifications now I should be good to go. omg… so many laughs… you don’t even need a degree to get an IT job networking. Networking is leaps and bounds easier than programming. Much much easier to replace a networking guy than it is a skilled programmer. If your employer cares about those certificates then good for you, but the vast majority don’t. I wish everyone the best of luck, but your mindsets are completely out of wack. ---
