There was a thread on something similar but I can’t seem to find it so I’m gonna ask again.

Looking for some advice in getting into IT. Any tips or pointers are much appreciated. I come from a design background and have spent the better part of the last decade doing that until I got laid off in September. Most of the jobs in that field are now contract work and have a great deal of marketing involved which I hate plus the field is competitive. I’m just trying to make some decent money while working the least amount as possible. I’m fortunate that I managed to have some cash through art sales that I’ll be alright for a few months. Might as well took to a better career path.

I’m going to try to do the a plus certificate this month but what are some other areas to look at? I hear good things about Cisco or net app

Aren’t the working conditions for game developers pretty bad? Also it’ll take a while to make a portfolio and on top of that i generally detest video game aesthetics

That's why I was suggesting freelance and that subreddit. You might be able to pull in some spare cash helping lone/small groups of devs out with some projects. But it doesn't sound like that's something that you'd be into.
