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.

Thanks for the advice. But then how can I immigrate to Europe from a 3rd-world country using this skill? I plan to study for a Bachelor's in IT to get the initial study visa to then proceed into employment and hopefully permanent residency. And I'm also much more into computers than pipes, been my whole life.

Plus, the IT skills might allow me to work online for any company in the world, regardless of where I'll end up being.

Can't commen t on immigration but not all IT jobs gets you work from home option. IT is really broad- IT operations which include service desk, desktop support, sys admins and other engineers like wintel, storage, devops etc then there is software where you can be either tester , product owner, developer etc and I guarantee you not everyone gets remote work.

What do you think you can recommend for a future digital nomad to study now? What to really dive into to become successful in the near future?
