well, to be honest, pursuing and graduating with a degree at your age is no easy task. esp if u have financial commitments / married / kids.

i will try for the degree first and see how it goes. u'll nvr know if u dropout halfway...

To be honest, if ur interested in it security you shld have some rudimentary skills and understanding as an hobbyist.

Able to set up own vpn, encrypt data at personal level and corporate level, configure firewall.

Isolation of systems.
Mount and defend DoS attack.

Need to have a personal Interest in the field.
To be able to get a paid job, you must first be an hobbyist.

If you have no prior interest in IT, your skill level will be mediocre.
No one will pay you for it.

Going Le Cordon Bleu ain't going make u a great cook if you can't cook to begin with.
