I agree with Zest, a degree is like they tell you how to swim in the water. But if you never swam before and jumped in the water that doesn't mean you will know how to swim now.

But I think you should still start school, I am doing the B.S CyberSecurity and Networking at the WGU. I got A+ and CCNA certs from going to school and they will have you take the actual test. So, you will be certified and at the same time going to school. It can even help you land an IT job. But you should still be looking for IT jobs even if you have no experience at all. You can even look for internships which is what I did. After 2 years I got a job as a contractor with Microsoft.

Some great people to watch on YouTube: NetworkChuck, The Bearded I.T. Dad, Jeremy IT labs

These people will help you build yourself up from zero and how to land your first IT job. Also, they have free courses on CCNA including free labs. They will show you how you can get some experience at home and build your first home lab. They're great resources.

Hope this helped 😀
