If you dont have the paper, you got no job.On that note though, I know a guy that had a BSC Hons Pass at Computer Science, but when it came to anything other than turning them on, and shutting them down correctly, he was lost. Just goes to show what the paper means doesnt it..
I know your position. When I was in High School I did work for the school since I was 16 and when I moved to a larger city to go to college I applied for a lot of places and since I didn't have certifications they looked down on me. What you need to find is a place that looks on experience that will pay for the certifications. That's what I did. I found a job at a retail store that judges hires on experience and will pay for the certifications for you. There are many places out there that require certifications but that is not the only thing they look for! It's certifications and experience because everyone hates paper techs. ------------------

Having a degree (or any other qualification) doesn't always mean you'll be good at a job.
That doesn't mean a degree can't be useful.
I have a few friend's who are on degree course's over at Sheffield Halam University and one or two are just bumming around and not making the most the resources that are open to them.
From what I have seen, they have a massive library (damn bitch library takes up a building the size of the college I used to go too  ), but on the other hand I see other people doing the work, spending a lot of time revising and shit.
I think a degree can be a double-edged sword.After I left college I managed to get set up with a summer job working on the Y2k project for a pretty company. A few weeks later they offered me the job full time.
On one hand I have a job offer, not excellent money (£12k a year, 18ys old, Project Admin.) but some opportunities.
On the other hand I have the chance to go to University (A degree, Women, Drugs and Beer: Not necessarily in that order).
I took the money. I don't regret it, but one thing I do know is this: - If I was to go to University now, after these past two years working for an IT company, I think I would be able to do so much better then if I had gone straight from School -> College -> University.
I have changed/matured/developed in a way that I don't think would have possible if I had gone to Uni.
Chances are I would be saying the same shit about University if I had turned down this job
