By "experience" I mean that the big companies and high-payers want people who have had real-world working experience. That you built a bunch of PCs in yer home or for friends, really doesn't weigh that much.

Second, by "Degree" I do not mean certifications. Certifications only matter when desired by the individual company. The fact that you have a MSCE or A+ or ODBA certification means jack if the company doesn't have that listed as a plus for the job.

Associates degrees don't mean much these days. Especially if you have no working experience. A full degree, such as a bachelors degree in computer science, engineering, IT, etc, weighs a lot more on your resume. Some companies won't hire people who just have an associate's degree. They want a bachelors degree minimum.

the best way to find out, is figuare out what type of feild you want to enter. Then go to a job search website and type that in, and look for what employers are looking for, best way to find out i guess.

if your still young like me (17 years old) then here is my plan:

summer 2005- get network+ comptia certified

summer 2006- get A+ certified

somtime in the year 2006---go to college and study computer science.

During the four years in college, I will try to get a decent paying job by having those two certifications.

thats as far as i've planned :P

same here but me first a+ and in the same year web design, then i have to go myself and get Network+.

I am with the idea that bachelor degree is important but what if you already have the degree on other field but you like the computer field, areyou able to waste the rest of your life looking
