Me few cents ,
Technology wise , JAVA i think is the biggest jobgetter , The complex it gets , the more pay it is ...
IT is a big world and there are a lot of things you can do. If you are good at any tool / technology you will always excel. However , for a start if you do not have any IT / Computer experience...start of with basic , Start reading the basic Computer architecture book , Those things will touch a lot of the IT components of computer systems. Then you can branch off to what you like. The important thing is to find out what you like and what you are good at. If you are good at maths , logics and have good memory you should be good with programming. Again programming is another sea out there, lot of stacks and lot of different technologies , regardless of the technology if you want to get into programming , start of with python or java or c to get a good grasp of programming and move up to object oriented programming ...you can then move up the stack to web and server side frameworks.Like I said each of those I said above is its own beast and will require years to excel and learn. A full stack engineer is what you should be aiming at, 5-8 years after you start your career in software.
Network and security is fun too , although I see less foreign workers in the field(mostly because american don't like programming ). NS is closely related to IT , you learn the OSI stack and move up to a technology such as routing / switching or security , all are fairly easy if you get the basics right. From there you move up to specific product such as Cisco / checkpoint / Juniper / Palo alto and many more. A typical admin for one of those product , all they do is configure/troubleshoot stuff for the product.pay ranges from 40+
The shortcut , Get into a training from Consultancy , if you have time, dive into multiple ones. Usually if you get into system and Engineering such as Linux / servers / etc , those roles require minimal cross domain knowledge so you can stick to one product and be fine with it eg. Red had admin , Apache admin.
For a start , get a powerful computer and download VMware or any other virtual platform , make a typical virtual IT environment with , host , client , server , DB , switch etc. Set them up in a domain environment so you know how IT works , on the server , start off with a simple apache server and move up to a server side server such as Glassfish/ tomcat/LamEtc , build one small program for each. Set up a DB the sameway (mysql/postgres/sql) and hook all of those together. this will help you answer at least half of the interview questions in and IT technology.
