I wont hire anyone that doesn't have at least a bachelors degree and at least 5 years experience. My department does hire people that have military experience rather than a bachelors degree but they must also have non-military experience.
In my many years experience in the computer field, I have found that an associates degree counts about the same as a certificate for the higher level jobs, meaning you won't qualify. The HR department at most major corporations will throw away your resume if you don't have either the appropriate amount of education or the equivalent experience. Without a bachelors degree or equivalent experience you certainly won't be working for someone like me. My HR department checks on education and experience before any prospects ever make it to an interview and removes those who do not have the appropriate education and experience.
My advice: Get your bachelors degree as soon as possible to make the most of your career.
