If you have the certifications but not the degree, can you still get the job? |
Rather than having a BS in Computer Science, I have an AS and the MCSE, MCSA, A+, Net+, OCA, CIW Professional, CCNA, Sun Certified Programmer for Java, as well as 5 other Microsoft certifications. Can I still get the job without having the BS? For this type of job yes you can and you can make a good salary. There are two keys: 1) The job you are looking for needs to be technical in nature not managerial. The managerial jobs are where your lack of a BS will hurt you. 2) Experience: The more the better, because the certs are not enough to make good money. #s of servers support, size of the projects you have been on and any other facts that show you have been in the business for a while will help you land the job. Try and see what happens. Some places will and others won't. It depends on each company. You might get the job but won't earn the same salary as someone who does. My company used to hire people without degrees and pay them $5,000 or $10,000 less than someone who did. Only if that is what the company is looking for. The college degrees cover more then what you are certified in. such as your reading writing and communication skills as well as math. Degrees say that you have the ability to think on your feet. You may be able to fix a computer, but can you run an office, that's kind of the difference, You should be telling us. |
