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.

    Not only networking unless you just wanna be a network admin. But networking is one of the most important components, you need the basics to be a good sys admin regardless.

    Understand IP addressing, subnets, DHCP, DNS, OSI model, basics of packet anatomy, basics of routing and switching.

    Have a solid understanding of those things plus a few other networking subjects, you’ll be able to troubleshoot really well. Don’t be the sys admin who barely understands IP addressing, I’ve known that person…not good.
