While earning a relevant degree and experience are essential ingredients to securing jobs, the tides are changing. The new normal is that employers are becoming more practical about what they can do rather than what paper certificates show. In other words, practical experience is preferable to degree certifications. Top companies now seek to employ technical experts who are not necessarily degree holders. It is not to discard or downplay earning a degree but to focus more on what you can do or what the degree will enable you to do rather than earning mere head knowledge. I hope this helps.

EXPERIENCE makes you Create Working Solutions Degree Turns you into Solution Seeker. Do not be fooled, Worshipping Government Issued Certificates Tantamounts To Modern Day Slavery. |

DyingFetus: Learn Comptia A+ to understand how computers work. Learn the other stuff for a job. A+ should only take you 2 weeks, no need to take the certification exam if you dont need to. Only my opinion. 1 Like |

Unclebayo:To gain the requisite experience in a job, you need relevant qualifications. If it's a job that requires a degree to start, you must have got a degree. So in most cases, experience is a consequence of a degree. But for jobs that do not necessarily require a degree to begin, experience comes first because such jobs are mostly skill based. You have an added advantage if you have a degree and you are experienced. But trust me, the question of "what can you do for us?" is more frequently asked than "what qualifications do you have?" especially in the tech space. Most employers don't care what universities you've attended. You must prove to them that you have the necessary skills and expertise to function in the role they want to fill. 1 Like |

It depends on the country concern. In Nigeria, it's all about certificate (Though, it's second consideration after connection). This brings me to the time I was tasked to train someone with much higher qualification where I work. He collects 6 times my salary but knew nothing until I trained him despite his certificate. However, in advanced countries we love to run to it's about experience otherwise known as what you bring to the table.. It's why CSU allows third party to issue their school certificate because it's transcript that contains details of student academic performance. |

Must the degree be related to Tech? For example, if someone has a B.Sc in Zoology and the person dives into Tech and gets tech skills, will the person's degree give him or her an advantage in terms of recruitment over someone who doesn't have a degree but has same tech skills. |

In the UK, experience is most important and valued. You hardly see indigenous people aspiring to get higher degrees. |

Inner19:That has no relevance in tech. Where degree plays a huge part is when going into senior management positions and that's when folks take up MBA courses and what not For a large part of your entry years into tech, Bsc in zoology has no bearing. What could be discriminating is HND Vs Bsc and even that doesn't cut across all the firms who need techies 1 Like |
