>A piece of paper from any source may give you academic standing or credibility within specific circles but I would rather work with people with positive and successful experiences when push comes to shove. When an entry-level position is available then those without experience are welcome. Giving someone a piece of paper means little to me when it comes to computers and reality. As for myself I know which end of the horse is which! :)
