Have you though about just applying for a job at a tech company? Once you get a little experience in an IT project or a tech type job you could just learn on the job and move around within the field. I know plenty of IT people that started off in engineering, accounting, general business, or even in totally unrelated fields like history. Maybe take a few java courses and a PM class if you can without needing tons of prereqs.
Discrete Math....I have a BSIE and I took almost every math/physics they had to offer including all Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Statics, Dynamics, Thermo. etc. I had more difficulty understanding Java and C++ than any of the math that I took. But after I took Discrete Math my senior year all of the computer courses made perfect sense.

That was a long time ago. I probably couldn't do any of that math to save my life without pulling out a calculator or opening a spreadsheet. What a waste of money...
