No degree, no certs here. I take that back, one expired cert from years ago. I meant to renew it, but that was a few years ago.

It gets you in the door when you have no other in, but not too far. If you go work for a bozo shop, they'll put more weight behind a current cert. However, if you get hired, do what you can to not rely on certification alone. Your peers will smell the bullshit, even if management outwardly loves your certification.
