So I'm at my college waiting around for a night class that I haven't paid for yet. I have about 4-5 more classes to go until I'll have my BS in IT. I"m taking one class a semester and working full time for the government. My position there is descent...I'm on the management chain for OPM.GOV (Office of Personal Management).

HOWEVER...

I hate school. :)

I have a ton of UNIX sysadmin experience, web development experience (mainly developing web-based applications with PHP, JSP, etc). Anywho...

I have the books for a CISCO cert and Sun Micrsystems SysAdmin cert. Shoudl I use my school money and get those instead and try and get a job in my field?

ORRRR

should I go to my class...

!#!$!$!$!@$!@$!$

My head hurts...stress....

HURRY I HAVE AN HOUR!!!

a degree is way better than no degree. Benji you got what 4-5 classes left? just finish the shit and u never have to do it again. Get that piece of paper, it also shows comitment and that you have the ability to learn which is very important. There will be a time in your life when you will be glad u finished it.

2 years is nothing in the grand scheme of your entire life. You are THIS close to being done, so I would not give up.

And like Hackle said, its better to have than not to have.

Also Hackle likes boys...

GO TO CLASS

look at it this way, either you go to class, or you don't and get a bunch of pompous jackasses that think you're an idiot just because you don't have a peice of paper.

go to class... AND get your certs! certs make the world go round, but a degree is a nice foundation. But you could just turn it into an AS now probably, which would be enough with the right certifications, if it's going to take you a full two more years -after- this semester.

thanks for the responses :)

I figure with my experience...and my 150-some credits (yeah...transferring sucks...shoulda had my degree) ...

and the certs...I should find something

Hell...I even like my job at OPM.GOV and it's nothing to do with anything that I really enjoy. :)

Anyway...gonna start studying!!!

Thanks guys!

UM... sorry to say this... but in todays IT field... a degree dont mean SHIT! How do I know. Its my job. I am on the hiring end of things and ppl who come to me with a degree have the same shot as some 1 w/o. Whats the deal breaker.... CERTIFICATIONS! I shit you not, a certification holds more weight than a degree. HOWEVER, being as close as you are I would just finish school, then get certified afterwards. Or cert first then degree. Either way, you're too close to a degree to talk away now.

just my 2cents
