Some of the most successful people in IT got no degree. However, one trait they do have is the ability to work well with others and they never stop learning new skills.
Most starts in PC repair/support but I would caution against joining a small outfit or go out on your own. Home and small business customers are very difficult to deal with. I would rather seek a basic desktop support position in a larger company. Move to a larger city with more opportunity if you have to.
