I have been a network admin at a small company (roughly 75 people) for about 2 years and I have no college degree. I started in a phone tech support position and got promoted to this position after about 6 months. I got the tech support position by having a lot of customer service experience on my resume. Our company employs 8 software developers, half of which also do not have degrees. Most of them started in tech support as well.
I think you'll have a hard time getting hired right off the bat for an IT position, but moving up the ladder is always an option. Also, small businesses would be your best bet as they are generally less strict about degrees.
