Nowadays its extremely difficult to get into IT field without certifications.
Option 1) Join consultancies, get one project, sit unemployed after your first project, worse case get fired because they expect you to come out firing from all cylinders. The old BA/QA market is crowded out now unless you're willing to move cross country every 3-6 months and then sit unemployed for the other 3-6 months waiting for a new job. At that point most companies will realize that you're just a hack who doesn't really have skills and drop you from interviews.
Option 2) I got a couple of certifications which led to an internship, which led to a job which led to 4 promotions so far. You'll develop at a full time job, with mentors and challenges and enjoy the stability. Who knows some pretty white chick from HR might wanna date you too.
Go the second route, there's no shortcut to success.
