I don't like my job and I have no skills other that customer service based experience. I'm not really book smart but I'm good with computers. I don't know anyone that works in IT so I only have you guys to ask.
Things I liked doing when I was a kid:
Making games with gamemaker
Making websites
Using linux
Networking, security and phone apps also seem pretty interesting to me.
How can I find out what jobs exist out there? Do I have to go to school or how does someone do it without?
How did you start in IT?
What is freelancing like?
Thanks

Honestly the best way to assess you IT skills and get some cred for cheap is CompTia
Start with the A+
If you can't pass that, don't get into IT
Collect shit.

I was looking into that, the official courses around here (Australia) are a couple thousand but I read you could self learn so I will try that.

People say that smugly but then have no idea the total number of devices that can be daisy-chained to an IEEE 1394 port or which type of RAM has a peak transfer of 12,800 MB/s.
The real answer is become a webdev even peasants in india can do it with broken english and literally no computer access.
