I started my IT career a bit later than others as well. If you can afford it, I recommend seeking out a good two-year trade school. They really aren't that expensive, and the one I went to also threw in vouchers for a couple of class-complimentary cert tests. You'll also get a lot more hands on, employment useful, knowledge than you can get by persuing a 4-year CS degree. Additionally, most good schools will assist you in locating a starting position once you're done. Here, a lot of local businesses recruited heavily from the graduates. I myself ended up going for 3 years since I was having so much fun, I decided to get an AS in both Systems and Network Management. Best of luck!
