i need some advice

Hey all,
Now i wanna start this with a disclaimer. I am not asking anyone to take
me under thier wing or gimme a chance with them at thier job or even
find me a job. With that said i just need a little guidance as to which
route to take in my career. Right now i know that any chance in IT is a
ways off, maybe two or three years. I just dont know if i should try
going for a degree or if i should go for certs or both. Sorry for the
rambling message just feeling alittle confused. Any advice will be welcomed.
Thank you all,
Ray
