Certification vs Degree

I heard somebody said Degree are more valuable than Certification. And,
whatever your certification is, degree is the first thing companies
considers.
Is that true?

The degree is absolutely important! Any self-respecting
company should REQUIRE both.

It would be nice if this were the case, but it's possible to get the
certifications with with little or no experience - and many do.

Schfooge

Yes, there are companies (hack shacks) which places more value on a
certification than a degree, but you would not want to work for them.

A degree does not give one experience of what happens in the real
world. As such, many companies don't give a stuff about a degree when
looking to hire experienced people.

Many so called 'recruitment companies' use education as filter because
they simply don't understand the business of finding the right person
for a particular role within any given company. For me I can't
understand why companies use those 'recruitment companies' to find
them employees - mad.

Unfortunately that's rubbish. Anyone can pass these exams, and
preparing for them does not give you real world experience.

Nope, experience is (or should be) what they look for, period...
