So that narrows it down. You can learn coding online as a way to bootstrap a coding degree. Here in the US, IT entry level jobs can be had with the equivalent to a 2 year degree.

Inventory your current skills and see what is the base you have. Can you teach someone how to install and run a program? Can you solve network connection issues? Connect devices to smart devices? Once you show yourself what you already know, look for entry level opportunities to use those skills.

Schools are often in need of computer assistance and while it's not fancy networking (at least at a primary school level) it is a way to get started and spend night school enhancing your skills.

You don't need to know 100% of what is expected in a job to be qualified for the job. Just have the ability to learn and apply knowledge.

Once you have a starter job in your area of interest, all questions and learn what the growth path is. Learn the skills you need for the next level while working at the current level.
