If you already know what you're doing, you could get a study guide and read it, then take the test. It's way cheaper than college and in my experience is a lot more useful.

Who is underestimating the power of knowledge? Not having a degree does not equal lack of knowledge. In my case, I have too much knowledge when it comes to IT, more than enough to do the simple job of diagnosing and repairing personal computers. I do that now, as I explained in my post, better than shops around me. Not having a degree would not impair me the dream of having my own shop. It's lack of resources. Some of the biggest industrialists barely made it out of grade school, Henry Ford, or ditched college all together, Bill Gates. Thank you for replying. I enjoy a good debate. “Don´t underestimate the power of knowledge!!!”

That would be the best combination. Many universities and colleges have online and night classes. Go get a degree (slowly and on your own time, and with the government helping you to pay for it) and then your resume (and your dream of having your own shop) will be awesome.
