I agree.  I've had a few employees and interns that have certs, such as
a 2k pro MCP.  One of which I went to school with in the same
classes...  and he didn't know how to add a user.

I've come to find that even someone with a bachelors degree in IT has no
clue what a subnet mask is for.  They remember reading about them..

Degrees and Certs don't mean anything other than they can absorb some
information and retain it to take a test.  The Hands On Experience is
everything.
