CS degree or Bust?

Interview Experience
I’m 28 and just applied to WGU for a CS degree with a focus in cybersecurity. After speaking to some people in my life in a related field and going over Reddit and Stack Overflow forums, I’m starting to think maybe I should just go to trade school instead? It’s my understanding that entry level jobs are disappearing (while mid and senior roles are increasing?). I do enjoy working with computers and have some coding experience, but really I just want a job I can support a family with. How realistic is it for me to start a CS career in 2-4 years at 30-32 y/o in this climate?
