How do I get into the IT field??? What schooling/certifications do I need?HELP

Tweet

I want to make a career change from sales into the information technology field. What's the best way to go about this? I don't want to be in school initially for more than 6 months. Once I've gotten a job in IT then I don't mind going back to school. What type of certification/schooling do I need to get started? What are good jobs I should try to go for once I"m finished to get into the field. Any advice would be very helpful.
