Might be a dumb question but here we go...

I'm looking to get into the IT field, more specifically Cyber Security. I've been a TV producer/editor for around 10 years with no real IT experience. Would getting a bunch of certs (A+, Network+, Security+, CCNA, etc) help me at least land a job in IT? Would my broadcasting Diploma have any merit? Or is it hopeless without going back to actual school and getting a CS or IT diploma?

There's a security specific thread you might get better info about specifically getting into infosec, it's titled something like "Don't roll your own crypto"

Okay let me rephrase for this thread. Will certs be enough to at least get my foot into most doors (even an entry level IT job), or am I wasting my time because my diploma isn't computer specific?
