| In the long run, a degree is more useful. Certs become outdated and eventually expire... degrees don't. Also, get your degree from an accredited college/university. | |

| Some online universities allow you to use life experience as college credit. So if you were to create and submitt a life experience portfolio, you could use your certifications to earn college credits. |
