I presume to know you have spent years studying IT, learning all sorts of weird and wonderful things you will never use , but you will still be starting at the beginning when you get a job.
I'm not saying what you learn in your degree isn't relevant to the real world. Paying attention and maintaining interest in those long boring networking lectures , will put your theoretical knowledge far ahead of a lot of support managers, I have come across in my 10 years in the field.
The real power of the degree comes later on when you have learned the actual skill set ... you or the one without the degree.
The MCP & CCNA will help a lot in pulling ahead of the rest of the field in getting a job as well but you are not unique, and a lot of universities are pushing their students through MCSE and CCNA alongside their degree, these days to help them afterward.
I don't think you understand how much this sort of input will help you later on in your career. There are so many people flooding into IT these days, you'll need every edge you can get.
Experience is the one real differentiaton between candidates.
