It's possible, but you have to work for it (Score 1)

Speaking from experience, it is possible to attain an admin position without a degree, but as has been pointed out, it will take longer to find, and you'll start at a lower salary, but it's possible. I would start by looking for smaller, locally-owned and operated companies that need an IT professional, but don't think they can afford one, and try to work something out with them. Also, a couple of basic certifications won't hurt you, and they're cheaper and quicker than a college degree. Best of luck to you, Riff
