Hello Thomas,
In as much as we pursue the certifications, I personally think getting a
degree is a good choice. I know alot of people that have made their CCIE's
even without a degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science/etc. But
the truth of the matter is there are certain concepts used by the
technologies which have bases rooted deep down into the engineering and
scrience, which getting a degree takes u through and not the certs. As Alex
said, even the vendors only took up algorithms and concepts and implemented
them in their own ways, and therefore studying these technologies from a
neutral non-vendor stand point is a excellent worthwhile i would say.
I would recommend getting a degree as well with the combination of the
certs.
