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

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.

Try to get yourself an old switch from ebay to practice setting up a small network, vlans etc., and you've got a solid start.

This is what (older) millenials had to do when they wanted to play video games with their friends, no broadband internet, we moved the computer, set up a lan. Good old time. But this is how 20-25 years latter, I have basic knowledge of network, and look at puzzled Gen Z kids when I tell them to set their IP adress and ping the hardware
