Just experience. I have an unrelated undergrad degree, back in the mid
90's I started looking at certs to supplement. I took all kinds of
tests, Apple, Cisco, LPI, Microsoft, CompTIA,basically anything I had
to work on or found interesting I read books and took tests. I went
from job to job looking for something that I liked, each time trying to
milk all the information from employers as to what was valuable. This
could be a regional thing, in Central Illinois in the US has limited
opportunities. One needs to be creative, think out of the box and be
marketable. From what I was told from the larger employers, the tests
that are potentially not proctored are basically worthless. While I
believe that being successful in IT is 70% common sense and 30% knowing
where to look and who to ask, most employers don't agree (or don't know
enough to agree).

Not disputing, but what is the basis of that opinion?
