IT is broad. You don't necessarily have to code to work from home. I wasn't working from home until the pandemic, and now we only go in once a week.

Whatever you do, don't do helpdesk.

WFH does sound nice. I could use a nap right about now, didn't go to bed to 3am
You really wanna do with this bullshyt?:
I need help resetting my password
Okay, click on this page and it'll take you to the reset portal.
It says 'Click Here if you can't remember your password'. Do I click that?
Yes 
Yes???
YES.
Okay now what???
You see where it says 'set password' and 'confirm password'?
Uhhhhhh....It's RIGHT after you clicked that button. It should be the only thing on the screen.
I don't see that
Oh, there it is! Let's see ..... It says "Session timed out, refresh the page and try again"
Stress is a MF. Sometimes I feel like saying F it all and just quitting. But then I realize I've been in situations that were just as stressful for way less money.
2014 - Call center - Hotel Tech Support. Was ratchet af. MFS fighting at work, managers getting caught in the bathroom with employees. . . It was a time. lol.
Learned a lot networking here.
2015 - Call Center - VOIP Support
More networking - moved to "Tier 2"
Mid 2016 - "NOC" technical at a startup VOIP company - more like high level tech support instead of a true NOC tech. Was 50% remote
More network support - had to learn linux. -
Mid 2018 (current company - Point of Sale Startup)
Started on HD - learned a lot but I got burned out - made some moves over the years and now I'm a manager on the implementations team. Still all remote unless I'm traveling to meet clients.
Once of the techs I hired for HD here just moved to QA and says it's cake compared to dealing with angry clients all day. He taught himself SQL, and more or less made friends with the QA manager and they hired him on.

Help desk is a good way to break into the industry if you have no certs. What I will say though is once you get in helpdesk, be looking to get out of there ASAP to something non client facing.
