I couldn't agree more!

I agree 100%, and I will explain why from my experience.

In school taking my program Computing support which included cisco, mcsa, a+, n+ I was probably one of the top students because I used to study a lot, but my weakness was the hands on experience. so I worked hard on the practical aspect of the course, pretty much configuring routers, fixing and building pc, playing around with networks, setting them up, etc untill I got good at it. Starting out my first job (which I am doing now btw) I was at the buttom, in a sense where I knew the least out of all the IT pros that were there and there were only about 4 IT professionals. Good thing I practiced alot with hands on experience because this is what made me a strong candidate for this position, I can now say honestly I am doing very well and my boss is happy which makes me happy as well.

From making my owne observation the employer hire's you do to your potential, if he/she see's your potential, chances are you are going to get hired.
