Standard IT isn’t highly educated. Most are useful idiots.
What you are mistaking IT are not. This is a common misconception. Programmers aren’t IT.
Most people who are in IT can do it with nothing more than a high-school degree, they are Help Desk, Desktop Support, and Networking.
Programmers are IS, not IT, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know the difference, and shouldn't open their mouths, because it's better to remain silent and expected to be an idiot than to open one's mouth and prove to be.
The point is that most people that say IT, have no idea what it really means, and if people say that you need to be highly educated to do IT, they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.
I have been working in IT/IS/MIS/IMS for over 20 years. All of those acronyms are interchangeable. Our department, which includes PC techs, help desk, programmers, project managers, BIDW, etc.. are all under the same name. At one time we were all IS. The we were all IMS. Now we are all IT. It's been that way at every place I've ever worked.
You better check your attitude about this topic.
I’ve got you by over a decade. I’ll check my attitude when people stop changing what IT means.
I’ve eorked my way up to a Director of IT/Infrastructure.
IT does not need programming knowledge, IS does.
You do not need a bachelors of science to fix a computer, to fix a network, to fix anything hardware-based. You do not need programming to do that either, you do not need to know PHP,, or anything else.
You do need to know how to interact with people, you do need to understand how a down computer affects the overall environment, you do need to have social skills. None of those require a bachelors, or any certifications whatsoever.
Certifications are away for a company to get rich, that is it if you can’t figure out how to do something by reading a book, or having somebody teach you While on the job then you want to good tech you’re a good parrot.
And I will not check my attitude For one simple reason, the idiots they are hiring with the certifications can’t figure out how to fix things. I have a better chance of having my wife do it and she’s not technically literate, I have a better chance of teaching her how to do something right there somebody with a certification.

IT/IS, and all of the bullshit acronyms are there for companies to get rich once you realize that you get your head out of your ass and come back to the real world because most of us who have been in the field for over 30 years don’t give a damn about certifications we care about people with personality and we care about people with real life experience you could show me a certification walls with that you’ve completed and out hire the guy off the street because he has a better personality than anybody with a certification.
It is very rare to find anybody who is knowledgeable who is sociable and right now we need more sociability in the IT world then we do Education.
