Forgive me for disagreeing, but I find that most of the jobs in the states require a BS or _equivalent work experience_. I have a completely unrelated degree (Psychology/East Asian Studies), but with certifications and a progressive work history I've NEVER had trouble getting a job. That said, I agree that one is always better off with MORE qualifications, because they can be left off the resume if one feels overqualified, or retained if the job is at or above one's current skill level.

Is it better (in terms of technology and industry acceptablity) to get
a
university degree on information security than certifications such as ccna/ccsp, ceh (or security+) and cissp? Soum
Both actually. I say 97% of all jobs these days at least in the states require a formal BS degree. The certifications are a added bonus to show your skills and give you the edge over your competition.
