Well, considering the op is contemplating a degree in IT(although I suggest something more theoretical like CS or EE), I assumed he had zero years of experience. Thus a degree would help him start much higher in the IT chain (as in not starting at the help desk). Although a degree is not needed to succeed, its a lot easier with one.
spidey07, perhaps you can shed some more details about this 250k a year it professional. I am graduating in may (engineering major) and just starting my career. I went on a boatload of interviews and I was only asked once if I had certs (that was by some clueless hr person). What I noticed about the people who make the big bucks are a lot more business oriented then technology oriented.
