โฒ 148 โผ What's an IT profession that is realistically possible to self-study for and become proficient enough in to get employed within a year?

Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.

Also look at automation software like Zapier that can bridge the gap between them (make them talk to each other). Operations is a great stepping stone from support, and there will always be a need for the person keeping it all going. permalink fedilink source parent
