IT certifications vs IT degree only?

[KamenRiderTorbjorn]

So I decided to go back to community college nearby and enroll in this IT associate degree program. However, I'm wondering is a associate degree good enough to get my foot in the door or should I do certs? By the way I don't have any IT experience.

"IT" is a very broad term. What is your goal? Some positions require specific certifications; some do not.
