Well, it depends on what you're wanting to do.
As I see it, you really have to choose what you want your career to look like. You've got two choices.
1) IT Expert - Pick an IT field and become the best in it. Become the expert that is hired to sort out the messes everyone else shies away from. The benefit is great pay. The drawback is you'll likely be a hired gun who has to juggle multiple clients. A technology degree could help you here, though you'll need certifications in your chosen area, as well.
2) Applied IT - Pick a business sector and learn that. The general programmers, support, etc, are easy for companies to outsource. The person who can talk business to the businessmen and then translate those business needs to IT solutions is incredibly valuable, though. For this type of work, I'd avoid the technology degree, and pick up a Bachelor in a subject related to the field I'd like to do IT in. Then just fill in a quick certification or two just to prove I know the IT half, as well.
