Well the reason it has so much weight is because a college education just shows that you passed all of the classes and graduated, a potential employer does not know exactly what classes you have taken and which you were good at. Plus there is no guarantee that you actually learned anything technical because so many colleges use varied classes to obtain the same degree and some technical schools are not acredited. Whereas having the cert shows that you knew enough to actual pass an industry standard exam that is specificly meant to test IT knowledge. I used to teach web design, networking, and computer hardware/software at a local college and I have seen first hand that some people can actually get a computer based degree and still not know anything about computers.

hey there. just passing by to say hello, since i haven't been on here in forever. hope you are doing well. and best wishes for the holidays.
