Thank you for sharing your thoughts and story. Yes, the sysadmins I knew have degrees in everything but IT or CS and IMO are very successful at what they do. The underlying theme is that they are all self-learners. Or, at least that is what I have observed.
Really, that is all I want for now. To get my feet wet. And if I can get a grunty IT job with my BS in Biology and some certs than by all means that is what I would prefer to do! All I really want right now is to get enough fundamentals and certs under my belt that I can land an entry level IT job and work my way up. Besides, I would have a better idea at that point in life of what type of degree would be beneficial and not just a waste of time and money (if another degree would be needed at all).
Thank you!
