If you show up with just an associates or bachelors it will get your foot in the door but be prepared to start taking Microsoft and/or Cisco certs.

Good stuff this. I'm an Enterprise Server/Network Engineer for a relatively large managed services firm. VMWare, MS and Cisco certifications + work experience are what we look for. Most especially MCITP and MCTS certs and CCNAs.

We put A+/Net+/Degrees at the bottom of the application pile.
