Sure - if you go to other sites Overclockers you'll see this is the suggested route (and has been for years). "Pay your dues" in tech support. I don't know why more people aren't suggested this route - you're paid to do your job rather than paying crazy amounts to risk it through a get-rich-quick-scheme sounding bootcamp.

edit: It might be less sexy to get the A+ cert when you're a teenager and work up from there than to go to a good university and get a CS degree, but we've ended up at the same place but without crazy student debt.
