While some may debate the usefulness/validity of various degrees and
certifications, I have noticed that without them you never get past the
initial screeners (HR can stop you but they cannot hire you) to show
what you can do.

I have a couple of degrees in non-IT stuff.  I've been asked if they are
technical (yup) but never queried further than that.
