Comment The school system I worked for didn't care (Score 1) 1092
I was going though college and applied for a Sys Admin position with UEN which runs the network for most the state of Utah. I got hired with about 2+ years college experince and was planning on finishing out my BA.
Talking to my different suppervisors asking them about raises, the didn't care weather I had a degree, got a degree, certifications of whatever. All they cared about was if I could do the job. This was very common with all the people I worked with. "Can he do the job" is all the cared about. This comming from a place that runs a network most of the colleges, and schools in the state.
This has been the case for every sys admin job I've had.
My suggestion would be to get things you can put under your belt. Like working on a Opensource project, or creating your own that you can show interviewers. Find the best way you can show what you can do.
Good Luck...
