Well, I've found that while they put "MCSE or BS in blabl required", when it comes down to it, they'll hire a talented individual without the degree or papers. Including my current position, the past 3 places I have worked have asked for BS in CS, and/or certifications, all of which I do not have. I ignore the requests for those, and usually they do too (unless it's a bank or government organization - they are sometimes a little more picky).
