Pick a trade at a community college and get to it.

Or go get a help desk job (as you said you want to do IT) and start learning on the job. Pay will be shit. Hours will be long, but you will learn and you will start networking and you can rise through the ranks. A lot of us who are making 6 figures started out doing help desk.

You gotta do your time in the trenches.

    You can get them stupid cheap, they have a pcie slot that will fit a full nic card, have a ton of 3d printed parts for them, and can take nvme drives. Plus run proxmox with ease. They're also the size of a small novel and are nice and quiet. I grabbed a used on on eBay for $100 tossed in ddr4 laptop ram I had laying around, got the cheap riser card and Intel nic for it. Runs opnsense and has been rock solid for months now. Totally worth it.
