While it is true a degree can take a long time it can give a big boost to your career and your resume. Also you do not need to pursue a degree to benifit from continuing your education. Specialized courses can help fill in gaps. Also courses that prepare you for higher level certifications can be benificail depending on your knowledge. Overall I would lean towards certifications as a quick and relatively easy way to have a positive impact on your career. Many find even after obtaining a college degree they still need certifications to further their career. It really depends on where you are now and where you want to go.

I have been fooling around with computers since I was about 10 yrs old and am mostly self taught. This is right up my alley of interest, but I can't decide which route to take. Should I go for a degree or are certifications the way to go? Degree's take a long time. Certifications focus on the main area of interest and seem like a more practical route to take. What would you recommend??? I have been considering a degree in networking for a long time now. I have been fooling around with computers since I was about 10 yrs old and am mostly self taught.

ITIL is a good example of a non-technical certification for a manager. A lot of management positions in IT require a great deal of technical knowledge. A manager needs to stay on top of currently technology and continue to build technical skills. I see your point though. A CCNA certification is going to be less valuable to a manager that some good courses in communications skills. Absolutely, management and soft skills are essential to being a good manager.

All t he ones above lock you into the tech stuff and brand you accordingly Cool if you want to be a techie forever but if you ever hope to advance into management and definitely into other corporate functions you must have some business skills you can document.
