This is a tough one and believe me, it comes up all the time.  You need IT experience to get a job but in order to get a job, you need experience.  \n\nMy suggestion to you (and many others) is to look in your local newspaper for small IT-type jobs like web work, basic computer maintenance, or other such jobs.  You might also look at your local computer repair/sales businesses for part-time work.  This will at least give you something to reference when interviewing.  \n\nGood luck!

Mainly when looking for an IT job that pays well, they're looking for experience and IT certifications.  From my experience I started at the bottom and worked my way up.  I worked doing Temp/Contract jobs for about 2 years until I got a good paying job.  Try getting so IT certifications such as http://www.comptia.org/certification/default.aspx or http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/default.asp

The biggest problem when trying to answer your question is the fact that IT business has become so vast and manifold that the times of generalists has long gone by. In other words, the first things you'd need to decide for yourself is what branch you would like to work in.\n\nFor instance, ask yourself if you'd rather be an system adminstrator or involved in writing software.\n\nWhat technical environment would you like to work in? Sun? Unix? Linux? Windows? SAP?\n\nI can imagine answering even such basic questions can be pretty hard. Some research might shed some light though. Moreover - and maybe even more importantly - try to build on what you already know: you mention that you worked as a tech support before. If you basically liked the matter you had to deal with there continue in that direction.\n\nOnce you decided you should try to find out if there is a way to get certified in that field. For most major platforms / technologies there are certification possibilities. With some (hard) work and the will to get somewhere all of these certificates are achievable within a reasonable time-frame; and they will definitely help you getting a job.\n\nDon't quit trying a job in the meantime though. The best thing that can happen to you is somebody hiring you that is willing to invest some time into your education by letting your learn things on the job. Cope with the probably small salary you'd get having such a job and remember that experience counts just as much as certificates and university degrees.\n\nSo, go to that interview and be honest about your abilities and let yourself shine by making them see that you are willing to learn and do your best ... you'd be surprised how many employers are looking for exactly THAT trait in future employees.

There are also other options - You could get a bachelor's in general studies or humanities. You also mentioned that the IT industry is not for you, but what about other industries? A business degree can be applied to almost every industry and it also gives you the option of starting up your own company. It seems that your desire to go back to school and get your bachelor's is really what's driving you here and you should definitely go for it without thinking twice about it. A bachelor's degree in whatever area is something that employers look for and expect. I have seen successful corporate managers with bachelor degrees in arts or history. So, go back to school, talk to your counselor and don't worry about your major. If you find something you love, then that'll be great but meanwhile just look at this whole process as a self-discovery journey and an employment tool.

A bachelors degree is sort of the accepted starting point for the IT field.  Does she have any professional certifications?  You also did not mention what the Associates degrees were in.  Are these degrees technical?\n\nShe could also try other types of positions, with IT type companies, to get her foot in the door.

Your most likely career opportunities would revolve around IT project management, implementations, or consulting.  Good career choice, in my mind.

Wow, this is a big question.  I'm sorry but there cannot be a straight answer for such a question.\nI did wanted to answer you, as I felt you're probably considering starting a formal education in this area and wondering if eventually you'll have jobs to apply to, and I think it is a good question to answer before that.  If I were you I would search through several job posting sites like the ones I attached below (there are many others!), and make sure you find enough jobs in the area you intend to live in, that require information systems people.  I do not know what are your alternatives, but while looking for job openings, please look not just for what you've mentioned, but for what the market is looking for, and you might find other optional directions for you in there.

Try getting some certifications, like A+, Network+, MCP.  Let your possible employer now that you still have the skills you need by showing them the certifications.

There are plenty of that kind of books listing potential careers in IT, but I think the ONE book all IT professionals should read is The World is Flat, by Thomas Friedman (especially the chapter on the 10 world flatteners).\n\nHis book already sold 1.5 million copies, and his advice has been heeded by politicians in Washington.\n\nHe's basically talking about the globalization of the economy, and how it affects IT professionals in particular.\n\nIt is a bit scary, but if you want to know what the future looks like for IT professionals, it's always good to confront reality and prepare to compete in the global economy.\n\nI know lots of people who are great with computers and technologies, but as Friedman makes clear, you have to know WHO you are serving. Knowing whom your computer services will benefit, will give you an advantage in the job market.\n\nGood luck!

The jobs you see advertised are not real.  If you had exactly the right amount of experience you still wouldn't be hired.  There are very few jobs in the US for computer people.  With over half a million experienced unemployed computer people out there, you're chances are slim to none at finding a CS job.\n\nCompanies routinely post fake jobs in order to claim to congress that "No American is Willing to do the Job."  The get thousands of resumes, but nobody actually gets hired.  Then they petition congress to raise the H-1B cap so that they can get CS work done for less than minimum wage.\n\nSomebody should have told you this before you got through college.  Its simply not fair to you.

Ok, you wanna serious answer? Computer info tech. Working for any company in their IT dept makes great money. I would apply at any and all large companies around. Even if right now you have to start with something small, go for it and work your way up. I know the hospital I work for pays their IT people top dollar. They make more than a lot of RNs there. Congrats, and screw these other guys, you'll never have to worry about money again.
