Get an expensive piece of paper with your name on it, and get about 5 years experience in the IT world. Then people will take you seriously.

edit - expensive piece of paper = bachelor's. don't waste your time with a 2 year degree. And let a corporation pay for a master's.
Yes, I want to be paragon of knowledge of all those fields and demonstrate how exceptional I am in the application of that knowledge. The military is paying for 36 months of my college including books and housing.

I don't know if you are making cynical jokes or being very serious.
