IT is a very wide concept.
Don't try to learn the hard part.
Lear the easy part with wide job openings.
Don't try to start as a DBA, it is hard.
Start as a Database Analyst, Yes, it is relatively easy to enter the job and to get relatively good pay.
When others are waste time and pay the tuation in school, you already started bring income to your family.
It is just a skill, not need great degree.
