Depends on your location and what type of job you are going for. In the UK I find that the only networking jobs that tend to have any mention of a degree are government jobs. Every networking job I've held has been in banking and in my experience employers are only interested in vendor/industry certs.

But remember a certification is only as useful as your experience. Target jobs that match your skills set, experience and aspirations.

Good luck.
