[Jobs] concerning jobs and college

[Reyazuddin, Yasmin]

Jessica, 
Certifications are equal to a college degree. It depends on the kind of
job you are looking for. For a customer service rep job, high school
with expertise in a certain area can be beneficial. Your IT
certifications will be good at a help desk where you get calls from
customers and provide them with technical information. 
I hope this helps.

So the one thing I run into when finding jobs or seeing jobs is that
they want some kind of college degree, I guess I sometimes think the
certifications will pass but maybe I can get some professional oppinion
on this, would 3 certifications possibly substitute a bachelors or
associates degree as I currently don't have any college degrees, just my
IT certifications.
