The following is from an article produced by Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is produced by the U.S. Department of Labor:
Because of the wide range of skills required, there are several ways to become a computer support specialist. Employers seek computer professionals who have fundamental computer skills and good interpersonal and communication skills. College graduates with a computer-related bachelor's degree should enjoy very favorable employment prospects, particularly if they have supplemented their formal education with relevant work experience. But because of the rapid growth in demand for computer support specialists, those who have strong computer skills but do not have a bachelor's degree should continue to qualify for some entry-level positions.
Many companies are becoming more flexible about requiring a college degree for support positions because of the rampant demand for specialists. However, certification and practical experience demonstrating these skills will be essential for applicants without a degree. Completion of a certification-training program, offered by a variety of vendors and product makers, may help some people to qualify for entry-level positions. Relevant computer experience may substitute for formal education.

My advice is to complete a college degree. You don't want to be the "low man on the totem pole" with just a certificate!
