Congrats on the cert, Bobby!

Yeah, it's crazy. The amount of posts that are advertised "Must be educated to degree level" really grates on me! Why should I be less capable of taking the position simply because I didn't got to Uni and study a degree course but chose to go straight into the career path instead?
It's a shame because there's plenty of genuine admins, etc, out there who got the certs as "proof" of their existing knowledge, gained through years in the field, who are being classified alongside "paper" admins with the certs but no real experience because they've studied it in a boot camp.
I'm not knocking the kids/people who do go down the boot camp route but to rely so heavily on people having a particular cert rather than relevant experience really isn't a good thing, IMHO.
