I don’t know, folks. If I’ve got a req out and I get in the room someone with a degree is CompSci and only a year or two experience versus someone with no degree, but an A+, an LPI, and a couple years working at a computer shop or even <shudder> as an Apple Genius, I’ll take the latter almost every single time. The ONLY caveat I’ll lay out regarding the former candidate is if they’re a contributor on a FOSS project, especially one related to System Administration duties like Collectd, Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Nagios/Xymon/etc. Under those circumstances, the selection process becomes a lot harder, but I’ll usually trend toward someone with some classroom PLUS practical over 4 years of theoretical experience every single time.
