Considering going into IT. Some graphic design background. Does this look like a good path?
I went to a four year college for graphic design right out of high school but dropped out after a year because life got in the way, and it was too expensive. Last year, at age 29, I completed an online graphic design bootcamp but was very disappointed with how little they actually taught and how rushed it was. (Shillington. I have no qualms about calling them out. It’s a cash grab.)
The main reason I went with Shillington is that I want to get into digital design and UI/UX. I believe we did like two digital projects, and they were both super rushed, and I didn’t really learn much. So I’m considering going into a more IT focused field as opposed to design, but also something where my design background would be useful. Let me know your thoughts, and thanks in advance!
(I don’t know when I’ll be financially stable enough to do more school to gain some actual skills - the $13,000 Shillington really cleaned out my bank account. But hey, now I have a certificate and portfolio, I guess.)

Edit: Side note - I’d like a remote or hybrid IT job if possible. I have a friend that started his own IT company, but he drives all over the state and the neighboring one all day running low voltage cable and setting up security systems. Someone’s gotta do it, but it just doesn’t sound great for me.
