 * In IT, Experience Means More Than Certification
http://www.computerworld.com/careertopics/careers/story/0,10801,102324,00.html?from=story%5Fkc
In the IT sector, what you know appears to be as important as whether 
you went to school, according to a new study of IT workers' salaries. 
It found that IT workers without formal certification saw pay 
increases of 2.8 percent during the first quarter of 2005, compared 
to 0.6 percent for certified workers. The salary study, which tracks 
salaries for 48,000 IT workers across 170 skill categories, also 
found that for the year ending 1 April, workers without IT degrees or 
certifications saw pay increases of 3.6 percent, while those holding 
certificates got raises averaging only 2.9 percent. "This could be

Partners LLC, the research firm that conducted the study, to 
ComputerWorld. "Industry experience is now becoming as important as
