It depends on what level you want to go for. But, for most cases, certifications are what matter. You can check out the Cisco CCNA certification path to see what certifications you need for what you want to do.

For network administrators, generally you need some sort of degree in IT, but the certifications are what matter. All network administrators should have at least a Comptia A+ and Network+ certification, but Cisco CCNA certifications are also good.

It depends on what degree you want. For example, for an associate degree, you can finish it in 2 years. For other degrees, it will take longer. But for information technology, the certifications are what matter. Check out the Comptia and Cisco certifications, as these are what most employers look for.
