To start off, you will most likely be going into a helpdesk / low-level desktop support position. For the IT support route, it is recommended you go the certification route over the degree route. For starters you will want to obtain the
CompTIA A+ certification, which is the premier foundation certification out there for low-level support. Afterwards you have choices, such as the
Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST), and so forth.
Your best bet in terms of location would be to take courses/programs provides by your local college/university/polytechnic institute.
