A degree might help you get into jobs you might not otherwise have access to but I think most people would argue experience is king. Certs will most definitely help but it doesn’t guarantee success in moving up
Renew your Sec+ and go apply to Defense Contractor IT roles with L3 Harris, lockheed, Boeing or any that want a secret clearance. Move up to Systems Admin by leveling up with creating your own lab and learning how to setup servers.
We are the same. I got out in 2012, no degree, no certs, in an IT support role at 110k a year. So yes it’s possible.
If you feel that the degree is the only thing holding you back now, you may look into WGU to check off that degree checkbox with HR.
