I'll second this. Also, I understand the Cisco networking certifications are still worth something, and not terribly expensive. I did my CCNA when was 17 so certainly achievable for you now.
But I think the big thing that helps people your age is just networking. All you need to do is get your foot in the door somewhere to start kicking some ass. The IT area is a great place to start low and quickly rise. I about doubled my salary and responsibility every 2 years from 18-28 (28 now).

CCNA is worth something but usually not if you dont have 5+ years of in the field experiance behind your name. The NET + and the MCTS are good ones. If you are up to it a Security+ trumps the Net+ and any company will gladly take that over the Net+ if it is required. From everything I have seen in my 12 years the CISSP is the mac daddy atm or a MCSE.
