Re: College vs Cert

I do not know what kind of college you are in now.
However, "in many cases its more valuable for getting in the door then a
degree", What kind of degree does he/she talking prefer to? A degree from
university of Pancake. I believe the truth is that "its" is "exp. in the
field" not the M$ Cert.
Without any exp. in the field or you know no one in the field, cert is only
a piece of paper and almost unless.
Get it straight, cert is only valid if you have exp or at least a dip from
college. I believe no one will hire a programmer who only has M$ cert from
the street in North America now.
