Hello all, I did some IT work from 20-25, currently 34, and I’m looking to get back into the industry as I derailed from any career paths almost a decade ago. I sat down and thought about which areas of technology interested me most and it came down to software development, cybersecurity (go figure), and data centers.

I don’t have money to or time to learn software development, and data centers interest me more now that I’m older compared to cybersecurity. So, I’ve come on here to ask a question. How are the job prospects in data center work? I’m not 100% sure on what career path I would pursue in the area, but I would like to start gathering information while I look for some Help Desk jobs. Otherwise I feel like I’ll get stuck in Help Desk.

If you can provide any potential career paths to consider as well, then I would greatly appreciate it.
