I’m trying to decide whether it would be worth spending an additional 2 years upgrading my associates to a bachelor’s in CS or not.

I don’t see much of a demand for the RHCSA in my area (Toronto, Canada) but I see that basically every job posting has a degree requirement.

I’d be 25 by the time I finish school with the degree but I honestly just want to start applying for jobs I don’t want to waste time.

I have the A+, CCNA and LFCS. I get my associates next week.

I’m aware that I’ll probably get a bunch of responses of people saying “I don’t have a degree or certifications!” but I’m genuinely confused as to how you’re in IT without either of those things unless you knew someone or got in very early so some elaboration would be nice.

    I have a WordPress site that I’ve been writing deep-dive linux articles on for about 10 years. Its more useful than any certification.

    Portfolios showing experience are always more valuable than any sheet of paper.

      Tbf, your blog is also just digital paper. :P

        I mean if I wrote a literal paper, like 20 pages, then that would be the same, yes

        I mean a certificate is 1 page and doesn’t tell you anything.
