Question

It may seem like a silly question, but it's important at least for me and I'm interesting to hear from you. I'm a .NET developer 4 years ago, even before I went to university, I'm currently earning an MCTS in web development, and some of them told me that it's invaluable for my position, I'm not and wouldn't be an IT student anyway, just because I believe that in IT field, knowledge could be gained from experience and self-teaching (via books and videos) , I know lot of IT students (in my region at least) fight just for the sake of having a degree and to get a job, no more...

I'm currently looking forward to complete my path in MS Certifications and hold the MCPD, is it really that you should be an IT guy in order to be certified? does it make sense for you that non IT students never need those certifications?

Explanation / Answer

Try to get as much exprience as possible and then have certification too.

What Certification will do: Certification will help you in considering for interview and also creates interest in you for employer. So, certification will take you to the employer but exprience will save you in your job and never let your employer down.

Exprience will help in getting certified: Getting Microsoft Certification is not an easy job until you have good exprience. I have Microsoft Certifications too and in my exprience Microsoft Certification question are really based to you exprience and check if you really gave it a try.

Same guy here: I am like you who don't have degree. I left my studies in the middle even not completed high school. I had certification but not expriences, I was called for interview but did not succeeded. Later I started doing freelancing job but never realized that it is a another type of business in which you are the boss, but now I realize. So you need to act like a business owner and remember running business does not require qualification to prove yourself.
