What's an IT profession that is realistically possible to self-study for and become proficient enough in to get employed within a year? - eviltoast

By employed I mean get a job in the industry either offline or online. Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.

    Pretty much anything if you’re willing to crush out some certs. 365 is in-demand and you can learn everything on Microsoft’s training modules. Alternatively, programming pays well if you’re willing to learn the languages.

    Once you get your foot in the door, focus on upward mobility by job hopping. Always take a better job title over higher pay if you want the big bucks later on.

    Also bear in mind that most IT jobs favor personality over skill set, even if they deny it on paper.

      Thanks for the solid advice! What do you think of cloud computing in general? Cloud dev, cloud admin, or cloud architect? Good idea to invest all my free time into?
