Ok, its a two year course that I studied for, so I don't know if that means anything. I know that it's desirable to have a certification and all, but at this time, I can't afford the cost of the courses to study for. I appreciate the advice and all, but what you said sounds pretty grim - "If you have no experince or certs why should somone hire you? "
First of all, it's impossible to get experience if no-one hires you. How do you get the expereience if every job out there wants previous experience? Does that mean that I wasted two years of my life? So basically, anyone who takes this course and does not pursue a degree or a certification can't find any job anywhere?

Well now I'm feeling a
LOT better about my prospects in the IT field.
