I aint gonna lie, i'm just in it for the check. I'm pretty smart, so I know I could easily do it so what's the best route to get started? I need to be making 100k in the next few years. School me!

Short term... Should I go back to school and get my bachelors in IT with a concentration in security or should I just go for certs?

Niccas ain't trying to share that knowledge though... I notice that about IT heads, niccas be caking without working overly hard but don't like answering questions about it. IT nicca at my job got the Porsche Panamera styling on niccas.
I've heard security as well. What route would I have to go in order to work cyber security ?
Getting into something that is 'hot' now won't mean anything if you have no experiernce. You're looking at 3-5 years minimum before you find a job in security or voice ( IMO the 2 hottest fields) and something will probably replace those jobs as being the new big thing.
Find out what technology interests you and start reading.....alot.

Your best bet is finding an good company to work for above all else. An company with an great tuition reimbursement program is all you'll need.
Stay away from contracting jobs especially Federal IT contracting.

Get your bachelors in IT.
Certifications are okay, but your resume will be shuffled under those with degrees and more work experience. You're cock-blocking yourself.

Java + web development....if you got the stomach for coding .......
Computer science or engineering have math requirements, but you can do it with tutoring.
Management Information Systems, MIS, is a bit easier since it is a little bit less math heavy than comp sci/engineering. MIS is usually a part of a business school and not a computer science school of a college.
