When it comes to IT I don't believe a 4-year college is needed. If you spend the money and get the 4 year degree that is great! You will still start in an entry level position but you may move up faster. If you like the idea of moving up faster and maybe moving into more of a manager or leadership role earlier in your career, a 4 year school might be right for you.

I would suggest that you try to work part time in the industry or even doing some different internships during school. It will not only help with your experience but will help you figure out which aspects of the IT field you like best.

Myself, I went to a 2 year tech college and then started working at the bottom. It has been just about 18 years since I graduated but a little over 2 years ago I started my own business. I am by no means rich. But I do set my own hours, am not stressed all the time, and get to spend tons of time with my kids while they are young.

Anyways, like u/youngluck said, we are all just strangers on the internet so definitely take my advice with a grain of salt.
