Seems most *employers* don't really give a fig what qualifications 
you've got - they just want experience.

Then again, given the number of people we've interviewed with "20 years 
of development experience" who can't work out how to perform trivial 
programming tasks like deciding whether a variable is negative or positive.

(Our office favourite is the guy who replied to one question with "oh, 
I'm not sure how you'd do that - I haven't used strings for a while".)
