Paul's right, degree + experience is better than just experience, and will almost always get the guy with a degree the job. The shitty thing is, only like 25% of people use their degree for the job its designed for. Most people are like a business manager with a anthropology degree or something.
My advice:
Pick what you want to do and go to a school that specializes in that. Maybe only a 2 year school or technical school. Then get a job, and make that job pay for more school or certifications. In IT, certifications can go a long way.
