I agree. I've had a few employees and interns that have certs, such as a 2k pro MCP. One of which I went to school with in the same classes... and he didn't know how to add a user.
I've come to find that even someone with a bachelors degree in IT has no clue what a subnet mask is for. They remember reading about them.. Degrees and Certs don't mean anything other than they can absorb some information and retain it to take a test. The Hands On Experience is everything. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
