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

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.

A foot-in-the-door job is colo datacenter tech. I know a major national company that pays about $20/hr and will take what they can get at that price point. Not interesting, not promote-able, bad schedules. But a resume item. Exposure to enterprise-grade equipment. While there, get the advanced certs you realy want and work on networking with the customers and vendors.
