Change to IT
In short: Is there a way to transition to IT without dropping everything and going back to school?
Long story: I initially went to college in pursuits of a Comp Sci degree. I had a difficult time and burnt out in one year, switching my major a full 180 to Psychology/Social Services.
I'm now at a non-profit, but it's not what I want to do.
I shouldn't have done that 180. I should have done a "30". But I was young.
I have children and a wife, and going back to school, even part-time, is not an option as I'm already paying off loans. How do I get my foot in the door? I'm not formally trained, but I always fall back into Tech/Computers, and want to do that in my work.

Then learn about it (WEB), practice it at home as much as possible, write about it - ask for a job then. About learning and job: http://calnewport.com/blog/ http://calnewport.com/blog/ (not every post on that site is great, but some really are...) Wish you good luck!
