I'm surprised we're talking about degrees any more these days, 
especially in a practical job like IT, I thought everyone already 
figured out that degrees were a waste of time and money?

On a lot of job ads they seem to be flexible, realizing it's better to 
just concentrate on experience/skills because they want someone who can 
do things for them and hanging a framed certificate by their desk isn't 
going to help with that?

The problem with this even as a first job even is that they'll lose the 
person very quickly anyway, free market economics an' all that.
