Engineer here. What do you want to do?

 

If you are looking for standard IT work, then look for a MIS or general IT degree and get a couple CompTIA certs and you can get a standard IT position (sysad, netad, analyst, etc) making $15-30 an hour.

 

If you are looking for something a little more, you should look into getting an electrical/computer engineering/comp sci degree and you can look for engineering/programming positions making $30-50 an hour.

 

If you don't want to do engineering but still want to make some money, look into cyber security degree, ethical hacking certs, CISSP, and you can make $40-60 an hour working government contracts.

 

IT has a TON of diverse options for what you want to do. Whether it is general IT, databases, systems admin, network admin, engineering, programming, or whatever. A lot of options. You just have to put in a little effort.

 

I will also recommend the military, particularly Air Force or Navy. They have GREAT IT career paths that can help you get an awesome job when you get out.
