Comment Getting hired is not about having a degree (Score 1) 1123
Getting hired comes down to two things:
1) Do you rock at what you do?
2) Does everyone know it?
A degree simply provides evidence that you have a clue about what you're doing, nothing more. Same for certifications. But neither are substitutes for actually kicking ass and getting caught taking names.
If you can demonstrate you're awesome at what you do, you'll get hired. If not, no degree or certification in the world will help you.
