What good is a certification and a degree?

by ree_ree27029 . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

I have a 4 year degree from the Univerity of Houston. I also have a MCSE under NT. I am currently in school to upfrade my MCSE for the W2K3 track, get a CCNA, and a MSSQL DBA. Inadditiont o all of this, I have 7 years of experience. The problem is that my experience is soley in Control Systems design, implementation, and maintainance. Basically, I support all the PC/Server responsible for the 24/7 operation of various plants/production facilities utilizing Wonderware products (http://www.wonderware.com.

This industry is a very small pie slice of the overall IT Industry.

I am wondering if the money and time spent upgrading my Certs is going to be owrkth it when compared to my experiece.
