No argument with that comment.  However, to me the most important
thing is to know, or decide what KIND of networks he is going to work
on.  Windows?  Novell?  Internet beyond the internal network?
Something else?  MCSE?  CNA?  CCNA?  (and on and on)


And, despite the comment that the certs don't necessarily prove real
world skills, they're still often the union card, just like the MLS or
PhD in other worlds, which also don't prove that one can function as a
librarian or teach a college class.
