Nothing wrong with getting an aviation college degree, if you already have a skill that can be leveraged against it. (IT certs).
Speaking which, a great backup opinion is keeping your fingers in the IT industry if possible. It's one industry that isn't really going away anytime soon, to be honest. It's one that doesn't put weight one to have a degree, but instead having certs and skills.
