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.

    A few years ago, I’d say web dev. I’d hire a junior web dev fresh out of a boot camp with only 6 months of experience at 60-80k.

    Today, my company won’t allow it, and I’m fighting to get new devs. We won’t even take a junior without a bunch of core competencies, things that will take at least a year to pick up. But even if we did, there’s a huge pool of applicants who want in.

      Appreciate the response! What do you think of getting a Google Cloud Certification? Would that be worthwhile in your view?
