If it was anything other than IT I'd say reconsider.

Keep working in IT, pay your loans. Take cheap online classes to finish up your degree at your convenience, but don't wait too long or your old credits will expire (or just be non transferrable). If you try to find a new job the degree might give you an edge over another applicant without one, and if you've already done most of the work/gotten the credits but then don't finish it then all the debt you've gained is truly for nothing.
