What's an IT profession that is realistically possible to self-study for and become proficient enough in to get employed within a year? (lemm.ee)

By employed I mean get a job in the industry either offline or online. Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.

If you feel proficient it the usual windows environment, I'd re ommend to start at a helpdesk job like at an MSP.
Smaller MSPs also make it possible to aquire more knowledge in other fields if you are advancing and showing proactive interest.
That's how I started my job career.

Though this heavily depends on the work place and culture at the company.

At a minimum it helps to show interest. :)

Thanks! Any good place to find a job globally, as an international applicant, remote only?

Maybe you are better suited to be at a global company that can provide support in a language of both the host and your mother tongue?
Moat MSP corps have telephone helpdesk.

But I am really not suited for advice regarding your unique position.
