Hello again everyone.

One point that has not yet been made in this thread is that through obtaining certifications and or additional/advanced 
degrees, an individual demonstrates the willingness to continue learning and the ability to do so.

Go for it!

time. I do not believe there is a hard and fast answer to 
this discussion of degree vs.
certification.

Of course there isn't. That's because one is not a substitute for the other,
-or- for experience. And in some circumstances, you might prioritize other
personal qualities over any of these. 

The problem I have with this thread is that it keeps reverting to an
"either/or" viewpoint. The 11th law of data smog: "Beware stories that
dissolve all complexity."
