Go for your degree. Once you earn it, you will always have it. A degree will give you a very helpful edge in the job market over many candidates.

Certifications, like degrees, promote learning (unless you used braindumps), and can help give you an edge over those job candidates who never bother to seek education of any kind. However, a degree should give you a better edge than just certifications.

I can't stress it enough, GET YOUR DEGREE. It will be difficult (as it should be.) It will be worth it.

Many high-level jobs require degrees regardless of certs and other experience. If you don't have a degree, your resume will end up in alot of waste baskets.

Go for Computer Engineering or Computer Science... It will be your priority choose as major.

If not then Information Systems.., other major are B.S

The great thing about a degree is that it never expires and it doesn't matter how long ago you got it.

Certs either expire or have dates associated with them (i.e. CCNA expires, MCSE is NT, 2000, or 2003).

Many Human Resource departments don't know squat about certs. They just look for a degree.

Good luck my friend.

funny how everybody on this board seems to know how much a degree will help you in your job search but nobody even has one. must be why we're reading this forum instead of working our good degree required jobs, because we're trying to take the easy way out, by just passing exams to get worthless certs when all the employers want degrees. what a joke.

It's stupid to list degrees under certifications in your profile. I have a degree and I'm working on another one. Shut your Face

I've got a B.A. and a couple A.A.S. degrees in Computer Science. So, I speak from experience. Go for a degree, it has made a difference in my career.
