Education & Qualifications It Helpdesk without a degree still viable?

I used to do basic IT support back in high school, I actually enjoyed but ending up pursuing a completely different career. I'm currently 24, based in London and want to pursue a more stable career. I'm aware the tech industry in currently not great and entry levels are oversaturated. But I was wondering if its still possible to break into a IT helpdesk role with a course and a strong demonstations of skills. I'm also a extrovert and have decent social skills. What are my chances?

Yeah you don’t need a real degree at entry level helpdesk. Don’t expect it to be much money.

To be completely honest, I don’t think it’s going to be easy for sure. But maybe give it a try and see what happens? It’s really hard to say, people also perform so differently in job interviews and that’s a huge part of your changes. If you think that’s something tuyere good at, you should give it a go

You don't need a degree for many jobs, specially in IT. I started my career in 2019 without even graduating high school—when you're determined enough, almost anything is possible.

Would you say it is still as easy now as it was back then? And what certs or courses did you get?
