Hi Nick,
When I came out of university with a BSc degree in Zoology, I got a trainee job with EDS. If I could go back to those times, in hindsight, I would have done a Computer Science degree or else got straight into an apprenticeship program of some sort, rather than spend 3 years on a degree that was very enjoyable but irrelevant to my career.
Cassie

 When I got a real IT job
It was my junior year in college. (as i worked towards a BS in Computer Science) I went to work as an intern for a company that was switching over from a VAX system to a Win NT Server / SQL Server system. My job was to write views, stored procs and migrate the old reports on the VAX to newly written reports using SQL Server. My belief is that for one to appreciate development in IT, you must pay your dues in reporting Hell.(hehehe)
Although, i didn't get paid much, the documented experience was well worth it.

No degrees
Just a couple of microsoft Certs at the time.
I switched from a career in barbering to a tech support position.
2 years "and several certifications" later I am a network Administrator.
I am thinking of converting my certifications to college credit hours and pursuing a degree though "that is if I can find time between exams hehe"

Hi Chodan
You have done a great job Chodan! I know CCNP is not an easy bait.
Perhaps, in the long term, you may need a degree. But, again if you can prove you can do it w/o it, it is fine.

I had a B.S. in math when I got my first IT job, but it was a training position and people were worried about the Y2K problem at the time.
