Hey go for it and good luck!
Try and keep going for the degree though. Depending on where you live, there is always changes in the wind and IT jobs always go to the one with the heaviest degree. The IT job market in *some* areas is flooded too so heads up there.
But don't listen to me, man. I can't even get my image up on this forum.
All the best to you at any rate!
