The classic debate of the value of certs or degrees. :) They don't guarantee knowledge, but they generally do show that the person who holds them was willing to invest time and money in themselves. And while there are certainly exceptions, my experience has been that on the whole the people with the certs/degrees are more knowledgeable.

Reminds me of one LAN Admin candidate I interviewed a few years back for a senior position. His resume showed certifications out the ying-yang, MS, Cisco, A+, etc ... I normally asked how many nodes on a 27 bit subnet mask, but that stumped him, so I asked him how many nodes on a standard Class C subnet. His answer : "Between 200 and 300" OK, so technically correct, but not accurate. So I asked: " Would you accept the job with a salary between $30k and $60k to start ?"
