Definitely looking to increase experience. Getting BS to satisfy the HR monkeys who think degrees mean something (I personally don't see any value in a degree, but I'll play the game). Getting certs to get a chance to gain the experience. I tend to get assigned a lot of special projects and often get great feedback from the engineers and project champions, so that's always encouraging.
If you're young enough, do get that degree. I'd like to get mine, but at my age and today's tuition rates, I'll never recover the expense. I'm better off putting that money into my retirement. We're still paying for the wife's student loans.
Hopefully only 6 months or so left to graduate. Came into it w/ an Associates which cut a lot of time off.
Should check out WGU. Chad Amberg just graduated from there recently. Very affordable. At your own pace. Competency based. Accredited. I've been pleased.
